NFL Draft picks remain unsigned as Bengals defensive end Shemar Steward and Saints quarterback Tyler Shough make headlines with

NFL Draft picks remain unsigned as teams head into training camp for the upcoming season? Why is most of the second round unsigned?

The dispute between edge rusher Shemar Stewart and the Bengals isn't over money. Under the rookie wage scale that was implemented by the 2011 NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement, Stewart's fully guaranteed four-year contract as the 2025's 17th overall pick should be worth $18,969,276, which includes a $10,435,836 signing bonus.

The NFL is setting to kick off training camps and almost all of the league's second-round picks are holding out which is bad business for the NFL.

Shemar Stewart remains the lone unsigned first-round pick from the 2025 NFL Draft. The Bengals' 17th overall pick is still stuck in a frustrating high-stakes contract standoff as training camps are just a few days away.

With training camps opening, more draft picks than usual remain unsigned. The official number stands at 32.

It's one of the most important rounds of the NFL Draft for finding talent. So why are all but two second-round picks unsigned?

What makes the Bears unique, though, is they have a league-high three of them — receiver Luther Burden, the seventh pick of Round 2; offensive tackle Ozzy Trapilo, the 24 th pick; and defensive lineman Shemar Turner, the 30 th pick.

With the opening of training camps right around the corner, the NFL is facing a looming issue regarding the majority of the second-round picks in the 2025 NFL Draft. As the final week of the true 'offseason' begins, the clock is running out on getting the issue solved in time.

NFL teams are set to start training camp and two first-round picks from the 2025 NFL draft are still holding out from signing their rookie contracts.

The Cardinals Johnson was the 15th choice in the second round this year. Last year’s No. 15 pick, Giants safety Tyler Nubin, had his first two years guaranteed, $1.208 million of his $1.488 third-year salary guaranteed and no guarantees in Year 4.
