Round 1 (17): Shemar Stewart, DE, Texas A&M

[AMPHAR]

Shemar and his representation started off stupid and its just a question of how long they remain there.

1. He could have and should been on the field in mini camp.  Him practicing would not have prevented any negotiating.

2. Now if the reporting is true.  20 teams use the clause.  Its new to the Bengals.  The clause doesn't change the over all value of the contract.

Now its mental midgets and lawyer wannabees splicing hairs of "Well its new to the Bengals" or "Well he isn't getting the same structure".

The last report with from Rapport seemed like he was dumb founded by the Shemar camp's stance because there is very little to be gained.   As people continue to dig in and find more truth about the situation the worse off he'll be from a perception standpoint.   Because at the end of the the day the Bengals aren't the ones being unreasonable in this situation.
