Cincinnati Bengals Legend Boomer Esiason Shares Contract Projection for Trey Hendrickson as Training Camp Holdout Continues

Dylan Fairchild, a third-round selection in this year's NFL Draft out of Georgia, is taking snaps with the starters as a left guard in his first camp.

The Cincinnati Bengals were preparing to enter training camp this week despite still being at odds with two prominent pieces of their defense in sack leader Trey Hendrickson and rookie first-round pick Shemar Stewart.

The Bengals star led the NFL in sacks in 2024. He wants a contract extension and has previously said he won't play in 2025 under the terms of the last year of his current deal.

CINCINNATI — Bengals first round pick Shemar Stewart is unsigned and is holding out of training camp. The 17th overall pick is the only first rounder that hasn't signed his rookie contract. Stewart, who remains in Texas and is training at his alma mater, reached out to a teammate before the Bengals' first training camp practice on Wednesday.

Quarterback Joe Burrow said that the Cincinnati Bengals offense played “poorly” on the first day of training camp Wednesday.

It isn’t all bad news for the Cincinnati Bengals as the team reports to training camp. While contract extension drama makes the big splashes, the Bengals at least got some good news on the injury front as players got in the building, too.
