Despite putting an end to the Shemar Stewart contract debacle, the Cincinnati Bengals remain embroiled in a stand off with star defensive end Trey Hendrickson. After not reporting to training camp, Hendrickson recently gave a very honest interview about his problems with the Bengals and their contract offer.
In exchange for accepting the new language the Bengals are adding to the contract, Cincinnati is giving Stewart an extra $550,000 upon signing in addition to the 50 percent he will receive when he puts pen to paper. Stewart will get the rest of his signing bonus in a second payment in December.
