Is Shemar holding out?

At the end of the day, the employer makes the rules, and if they are not violating the CBA, there's nothing Shemur or his agent can do other than not receive any payment. 

Because people (including Bengals fans) love to shit on the Bengals.

If this was the 90% of the teams in the NFL in this situation it would hardly be talked about and when it was it would be the player that's the bad guy for not accepting language that every other team has in contracts while refusing to sign a waiver and practice with the team.

The Bengals finally catching up with the rest of the NFL and putting this language in a contract should be a non issue but because its the Bengals it must be the terrible ownership that's at fault!

After hearing comments from Stewart and His agent this just feels like an ego play. 

Quote:"Duke Tobin has had no involvement in this negotiation," Hiller told Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. "It seems to be above his pay grade."

We all have our issues with Brown/Katie but this petty behavior from his agent over standard language in nearly every teams contracts shows who is holding up the contract talks.
