It's official Bengals fans!
Shemar Stewart inked his rookie contract on Saturday and will be on the field participating in his first Bengals practice tomorrow in front of fans.
Stewart and his agent, Zac Hiller, had a drawn-out contract standoff with the Bengals over language in the deal, but everything is behind them entering August. Stewart had been working out at his alma mater, Texas A&M, leading up to training camp.
He was the final first-round pick to ink his deal.
Check out the announcement below as Stewart starts to work his way into a DE hierarchy, including Myles Murphy, Cam Sample, and more:
