The Baltimore Ravens\u2019 cornerback doesn\u2019t miss a beat \u2014 especially\u00a0when it comes to clowning AFC North rivals\u00a0in front of the entire football world.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">When the Ravens posted a photo of first-round pick Malaki Starks\u00a0inking his rookie contract, Humphrey couldn\u2019t help himself.\u00a0He slid in with a caption\u00a0that landed like a punch to the ribs of the Bengals:<\/p>\n<div id=\"inarticle_d_1_4\" class=\"mm-slot-content\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\"><em>\u201cContract wasn\u2019t signed but still practicing (hand clap emoji)\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">If that looks like a cheap jab, it\u2019s because it absolutely is.

Cincinnati\u2019s top draft pick, Shemar Stewart,\u00a0has been sitting out of offseason workouts\u00a0because of a contract dispute. Not over money, but over specific language the Bengals decided to wedge into the deal \u2014 language that would let them void guaranteed money if he ever defaulted on the contract.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">It seems as though the Bengals are trying to sneak new contract language into Shemar Stewart\u2019s rookie deal \u2014 language that wasn\u2019t in Ja\u2019Marr Chase\u2019s deal and wasn\u2019t in Amarius Mims\u2019 either. Stewart\u2019s side wants consistency. Cincinnati wants control. That\u2019s the holdup. So now the No. 17 overall pick is stuck walking around aimlessly on the sideline while his teammates are practicing on the field.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">It&#8217;s an absolute mess and just hilariously ridiculous. What are the Bungles doing? What is the point? Stewart keeps waiting on a contract that should\u2019ve been finalized weeks ago.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Meanwhile, the Ravens got their guy signed, suited up, and integrated in less time than it took the Bengals to draft a red flag. And their longest-tenured star couldn\u2019t help but point it out \u2014 publicly, proudly, and without hesitation.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">The Bengals\u00a0are already juggling a Trey Hendrickson headache, a rookie holdout, and a fanbase wondering if the front office even knows how to handle a defense anymore. So naturally, Humphrey threw gasoline on it all and laughed maniacally while doing it. Because when it comes to AFC North beef, Marlon never takes a bye week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marlon has zero chill.
