If Bengals are to be believed, then this is a crazy reach. Team is suggesting he wants guarantee of being paid even if he’s unable to play due to legal issues. Probably wondering why the **** they drafted the guy.#Bengals owner Mike Brown explained that the holdup in getting Shemar Stewart signed isn't about money, but rather about contract guarantees in extreme disciplinary scenarios. Stewart’s agent is pushing for the deal to remain fully guaranteed even if Stewart were to commit a serious violation — something (hypothetically) as severe as going to prison. Brown noted that while he doesn’t believe that will ever happen, it’s the sticking point that’s delaying the deal.
I want you to pay me if I receive a DUI, slap a bebe momma, and rob a bank.
I think they were trying not to fully guarantee it. he got it fully guaranteed so it sounds like he wonI wonder if Shemar finally gave in or if they altered the terms of the contract.
Either way this is much better for him than trying to reenter next year’s draft.
It was always fully guaranteed. The holdout was due to them putting a clause(s) that they could void the guarantees for “Conduct detrimental to football" among other things that are not in other 1st round draft picks contracts.I think they were trying not to fully guarantee it. he got it fully guaranteed so it sounds like he won
Two situations have nothing to do with each other though. Anybody being honest can say yes the Bengals are tight with the wallet. Anybody being honest with the situation can also say in this instance it's not on the Bengals...Hendrickson just left camp because the Bengals were lowballing him in the GTD money for his much needed extension.
There is always fine print in a contract. If it's to believe what they're asking for is contract detrimental to football, then that is in every contract. If you recall it happened to Carl Malone in basketball all these years ago when he got hurt riding his Harley-Davidson they voided a contract for him. So it is always in a contract it's just simply how exactly they've chosen to word itIt was always fully guaranteed.

But the Bengals reputation of being cheap is a problem for the organization.Two situations have nothing to do with each other though.
