Is Shemar holding out?

jumps on them and acts like they are the worst FO of all time because Shemar was told by his agent not to sign. We can hate on the Bengals
FO but we also have to try and not be biased. I admit it though, I am biased against the agents that don't get the players they represent playing
football for the team that drafted them.

Same with being biased against Trey's dumbass agent.

But Ja'Marr's got his and Tee's deals done so that agent is excluded and doing things the right way in my eyes.


Travis Hunter has been practicing while not being signed. That is a football player. Shemar has let me down listening to his agent and not 
practicing. I was one of the few that was behind the pick and now I am not so sure.

I've previously changed my stance a bit and stated that if it's an NFL norm for others and the Bengals are trying to newly impliment it, i don't really have an issue with it...with these questions.

1. Are the Bengals adjusting the guarantee payout to match other teams, i.e., are they paying a bigger percentage at signing and then a smaller percentage later, or are they trying to give a smaller amount at signing?
2. Is that part of the issue with Shemar and his agent?
3. Does Shemar just not want to be the first Bengal rookie to have this language in his contract?

If 1 and 2 are true, that's a "Bengals cheap" thing. 
If 3 is true, that's a Shemar thing.
