CINCINNATI — Bengals first round pick Shemar Stewart is unsigned and is holding out of training camp. The 17th overall pick is the only first rounder that hasn't signed his rookie contract. Stewart, who remains in Texas and is training at his alma mater, reached out to a teammate before the Bengals' first training camp practice on Wednesday.

Shemar Stewart's contractual holdout with the Cincinnati Bengals has lingered to the start of training camp and the team's front office personnel want to see the first-round pick suiting up sooner rather than later.

The contract standoff between Shemar Stewart and the Cincinnati Bengals ended Friday, as the pass rusher signed a four-year, fully guaranteed deal worth $18.97 million. The contract includes a $10.4 million signing bonus, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
