CINCINNATI — Shemar Stewart has reportedly been working out with the Texas A&M football team this summer, and could attempt to play at the school again if his Bengals contract isn't figured out. Cover 3 podcast host Bud Elliott noted on the show that Stewart has been "fully involved" in the Aggies' workouts.

Texas A&M coach Mike Elko denied Thursday that Cincinnati Bengals rookie Shemar Stewart is attempting to return to college amid a contract dispute, telling 247Sports at SEC Media Days that there's no truth to the rumors.

Pay Trey Hendrickson and let Shemar Stewart go back in the NFL draft next year with his four sacks in college. He won't smell first-round money ever again. We can thank the inept Ohio team up north (the Cleveland Browns) for literally changing the landscape of pro football.

Unsigned Cincinnati Bengals draft pick Shemar Stewart is "believed to be keeping all options open" amid stalled NFL contract negotiations, according to Mark Maske, Nicki Jhabvala and Jesse Dougherty of the Washington Post.
