***2025 NFL Season***

[Mr Janny]

I thought first round rookie deals were pretty standard, not much negotiating allowed?

The dollar amounts are generally standardized, but not some of the contract language. This is a situation where the Bengals are trying to insert language that would allow them to void the entire deal in some circumstances. It's not language that they've ever had in their contracts previously, and Stewart doesn't want to be the first one to have it in his contract.
