I guess the Eagles include this language in all contracts so it's not solely a Bengals issue. This is just the first rookie contract for a 1st rd player they've tried to implement this language. So I can definitely understand why Stewart wouldn't want to sign it. Does seem especially silly for the Bengals to stick to it at this point as it's not that expensive of a contract. Also Stewart appears to need all the reps he can get so it's not great either.

As far as reps, they're not practicing in pads, right? I don't know how much just being out there going through the motions helps.
