Is Shemar holding out?

Yes. Bengals can trade his rights, but it would be a damaged goods trade. No other Team would give a a return commensurate with the 17th pick of 2025. 

The alternative is to retract the offer and Shemar can enter the draft next year. Or Shemar can refuse to sign the offer and do the same.

My view is that if Shemar doesn't sign the offer and misses camp, and decides to sign the week before season opener, he is of minimal value this year for us.
