Bengals, top pick Stewart end impasse … Cincinnati has finally signed DE Shemar Stewart, the only remaining unsigned first-round pick from the 2025 draft, ending what amounted to a three-day holdout. Stewart, the 17th player selected this past April, had been refusing to sign as the Bengals wanted to include language that could void future guarantees in the contract. The impasse was resolved as the Stewart reportedly agreed to the language in exchange for an increased signing bonus.With Stewart in the fold, all 2025 draftees have ow signed with the exception of Cleveland RB Quinshon Judkins, the Browns second-round pick who is facing a domestic violence charge in Florida and is not expected to sign anytime soon.
