As I see it this clause had nothing to do with Shemar as a person. They would have inserted that language regardless of who pick 17 was. As guaranteed salaries get higher and affect more players, this is the Bengals accepting that fact but protecting themselves the best they can.
I have a feeling the Bengals are done talking with him and his wannabe super agent. The final contract is on the table…take it or leave it.
He will never see first round money like this again in his life. He would still be young if he sits out season needed to escape the Bengals but no way would he drafted in the first round again. He was lucky to be drafted 17th this year.
It sucks but he has zero leverage. He’s the wrong player with the wrong agent to make this stand against the only team in the NFL who won’t blink
