Is Shemar holding out?

Maybe getting overtipped as a waiter or bartender could be a perceived problem, but don't they have to share tips with other servers?

A big problem I see with Shemar holding out is that I don't think he has much leverage because, yes, we need him, but next year's class is loaded with edge rushers, so no chance he gets selected this high again, especially with sitting out a year, and other teams might take him completely off their boards to avoid any drama.

I think the Bengals have a concern of Stewart (or any player they have concern with) may do something on or off the field that causes them to miss time aside from injury that they deem as "stupid" and want to put this clause in to help the individual think more about how their actions have consequences.

I have to think Burton last year may have impacted their decision into this, but I do wonder why this clause is being pushed for Stewart but not for other draft picks, or possibly it was and the other draft picks just signed anyway.
