Is Shemar holding out?

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. 

Unfortunately, not signing Stewart and letting him reenter the draft doesn't return anything to the Bengals in terms of draft pick, just saved $$, which they already have plenty of.
But honestly, if that saved $$ from Stewart would end up helping extend Hendrickson for another 2-3 years, I'm actually for it.
I really don't wanna see a proven sack leader walk out the door in favor of pure potential in hopes that dude becomes something in 3-4 years.
