Now that a report has detailed Shemar Stewart's reason for a contract impasse with the Cincinnati Bengals, looping back to his public comments seems like a good idea. Last week while meeting with the media around practices, Stewart said that he doesn't think his side is being unreasonable.

Via Kelsey Conway of the Cincinnati Enquirer, defensive end Shemar Stewart is not participating in the team's first OTA practice on Tuesday as he remains unsigned. While Stewart is attending the session, he's on the sideline.
