Why don't the Bengals cut ties with Shemir Stewart and just sign Hendrickson to a deal?

I mean if the Bengals let a very proven guy in Hendrickson walk because they don't want to pay him the asking price for his skills especially since he was the only thing positive last year on defense. Looks this Shemir Stewart is not betting on himself to stay straight with his well if I get in trouble I still want to get paid shenanigans. It's a win if they sign Trey Hendrickson anyway. I still can't believe the Bengals paid Higgins. SMH

My understanding is he is the first player that is being asked to sign that contract. He is 1 of 1 player. They aren’t asking anyone else on any team to agree to these clauses. He is basically saying “Why am I the first? Why not give me the same contract as every other NFL player.”

Shemar Stewart has every right to be mad
If you worked at a company with 500 people, 499 got a certain contract and you were the only one different, you would be pissed

Bengals are a terribly ran franchise. They rank last or close to last every year when they do the player surveys.
They should sign Hendrickson and Stewart.

You sucked down every bit of Mike Brown's hypothetical. I have to admit framing the situation that way was lucky (Brown ain't no genius) because you can look at the first thread here on this and see getting paid while sitting in jail dominated the thread. If I were Stewart and AFAIK has had no issues with the law I would be even more adamant after those comments. Casual watchers think Shemir is just refusing to sign some sort of no-thugging rider.

Bc he’s 31 and wants a 4 year deal

Hard to turn down $18M, but I would be considering going into next year draft and away from this ownership group.

The real question is why pick Stewart?
You think he's a knucklehead and his college production was poor.
It seems like there is a disconnect between player personnel and ownership.
As far as Hendrickson goes, I'm guessing the Bengals think he's too old for that deal, but sometimes you just have to eat the money long term to win now. Nearly every team does it. Don't take these Burrow, Chase, and Higgins years for granted.

Trey stats inflated because the Bengals offense scores a lot of points,, I read somewhere Trey only had two 3rd down sacks.,, other teams force to pass the ball on early downs to match the Bengals scoring.,, a bunch of sacks on first down not as impactful as one would think

My question is why pick Stewart if you knew this is how ya’ll were going to go about things? You already knew he was the ultimate boom or bust prospect. And you have a defense that clearly needs guys that can make an impact day one. Doesn’t make sense.

For some reason he and his agent don’t have faith that he can avoid doing something stupid so they don’t want to sign it
Don’t know why these players have so much trouble with just shutting their mouth and playing ball.

It isnt a Stewart thing, they tried to put the same language in their first round picks' contracts the past 2 years, they just took it out during negotiations.
They have a cheap owner/owners so it makes sense they wanna be able to void guaranteed money.
If they can void a guy that isnt playing well for their social media getting hacked and/or posting something stupid it could save them a lot of money in the future. They are basically just trying to get this added now so it will be the basis for future contract wording.
Seems like bad timing to do it during your only championship window though where you desperately need defense.

Why don't the Bengals cut ties with a cost controlled asset and just pay a now pissed off asset top 5 type money.
Hm.

For the situation with Stewart, both parties (Brown and Stewart's agent) are being ridiculous. If both sides want to sign, and the Bengals are insistent on this clause, why not work together and make a "No-No List" of shite that can void the guaranteed money? Either that, or move some of the back-end loaded guaranteed money to the first year or two of his contract to help convince him to sign that clause.
When it comes to Hendrickson, he'll be on the field Week 1 in my opinion. He has offered to take less money, but wants a certain amount guaranteed. In his case, the Bengals are being cheap as hell like always... That said, he wants to play and Brown thinks they are close on terms despite Hendrickson laying out that he is looking for more guaranteed yesterday.

Ambiguity is better for ownership because they can afford better lawyers/dragging things out in court.

if Player makes any public comment, including but not limited to the newspaper, magazines, television, radio, social media or internet that breaches Player's obligation of loyalty to Club and/or undermines the public's respect for the Club, Club coaches, or Club management
Could fit pretty much anything someone says.
If they post rap lyrics on instagram does that undermine old guys that hate rap's respect for the club?
It the team says it does it would be on the player to take them to court to get his money.

They have mandatory press appearances. Were you not around during Marshawn Lynch's "I'm just here so I dont get fined"?

Oh, no doubt. Organizations will always stand on ambiguity until the employee's agent negotiates against it (in this case).
I'm not arguing that the clause makes sense for all parties. Rather, I am arguing that the two sides in the negotiation need to quit being stubborn and actually negotiate.

Outside the fact that you're wrong on why Stewart isn't signing, it isn't a "you can only sign one of them" situation. Also, you don't cut ties with your first round pick before they ever play a snap. The Bengals are idiots.
