So basically Stewart didn't feel it was fair to put a clause on him when he felt he didn't do anything to deserve the clause, even if that clause was being put (unfairly?) on other new draft picks coming into the league by other teams.
What was probably a bit over the line (in some folks' eyes) is the specific statement to Bengals FO about how they want to win arguments instead of winning more games.
Stewart comes off as pretty blunt and willing to share his feelings, even though many players are coached to not do that.
In the case of Stewart, it can be seen by many as entitled, as he's not proven anything in the NFL, so just don't talk to the media at all about things like this.
I don't personally have a problem with Stewart (or anyone) feeling a certain way and sharing their feelings/opinions, but know that any time an opinion is shared, understand that could result in backlash from certain folks.
The info I saw said 31/32 teams have the clause, this year. Ravens the exception. IDK how many had it last year, but we certainly did not.
I am as critical of our FO as almost anyone, but this one was more on camp Stewart.
