Muckraker Mike says the Bengals and holdout first round pick Keith Rivers have reached a deal and that Rivers is en route to Cincinnati to sign it.
On the other hand, Bengals.com's Geoff Hobson says that despite talks, no deal appears imminent

I am very excited and I am anxious to get back out onto the field and start working with my teammates.
