Haven't seen this posted, but has anyone followed the situation with Shamar Stewart - the 17th overall selection from the Bengals?
Some weeks ago Stewart was blasted in the media for not participating in rookie mini-camp and already holding out. All guns blazing on character issues etc. Same thing at the beginning of OTAs.
Turns out that was not exactly the case.
The Bengals are trying to push the legal interpretation of garanteed money in his contract and set a new precedent for all future contracts in the league of how much money is garanteed depending of circumstances.
I mean. WTAF!!!! You have a rookie 1st rounder playing the same position as your star hold-out and then you try to bully him into signing a contract that could change all future contracts. They are basicly giving him a choice of his dream by signing a $$$ NFL contract OR going against the player union and all other players in the league.
Whether the Bengals have a fair case or not, I do not know. But that discussion should be between the owners and player union and not forced onto a kid trying to sign his first contract.
