The implementation of a rookie wage scale in 2011 has largely ended contract holdouts of draft picks, with a couple of exceptions.

Shemar Stewart's holdout from the Cincinnati Bengals due to some of the language they want to include in his rookie contract is reportedly a fairly common practice used by other teams.

Trey Hendrickson isn't the only notable Cincinnati Bengals player missing from practices at the team's mandatory minicamp. First-round pick and fellow pass rusher Shemar Stewart said on Tuesday that he will not practice until his contract situation is settled.
