The Cincinnati Bengals rookie was the only first-round pick that remained unsigned heading into NFL training camp.

CINCINNATI — Done deal. Bengals first round pick Shemar Stewart agreed to a four-year, $18.97 million contract on Friday evening. Stewart was the last first round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft class to agree to a contract.

First-round pick pass rusher Shemar Stewart has officially signed his rookie contract after a controversial stalemate regarding specific language that could have voided guarantees. He had also refused to sign his practice waiver, meaning he held out of the Bengals’ OTAs, rookie minicamp, and the first few days of training camp.
