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.

Bengals first-round pick Shemar Stewart had been a spectator at the team practices this summer, but was not present as the team wrapped up its summer program.
