Muckraker Mike says the Bengals and first-round pick Keith Rivers are closing in on a contract and that Rivers could be in camp by tomorrow.
Stay tuned.
Wanted to let everyone know in the Yard that I signed my contract tonight about 10:00 and then got checked into the dorms at Georgetown College. I am very excited and I am anxious to get back out onto the field and start working with my teammates. It's been tough waiting around for this to happen, but it is part of football now, it's part of the process. I'm just glad...

The Bengals and Keith Rivers have agreed on a deal, ending the first-round pick's holdout. Terms of the contract were not been released, but reports indicate it's a six-year deal with a voidable year that would reduce it to five. The linebacker is expected to be on the field for his first workout of training [...]

In the spirit of Keith Rivers officially signing with the Bengals (and because tackle statistics have not been historically kept by the NFL), see how many of the Bengals career sack leaders you can name in 5 minutes. Even though he an LB, I bet that Rivers ends up on this list before his career is over.
Note: Last names accepted as responses.

As week 2 of training camp gets underway, the Bengals have made some changes to their depth chart.
Fullback Jeremi Johnson, still not on the field because of weight-related issues, has been demoted from starter to fourth string. Daniel Coats is the new No. 1 fullback, with former Elder star Bradley Glatthar moving up to No. [...]

Keith Rivers is falling behind due to his holdout, says defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer. Progress on a deal for No. 9 still appears to hinge on No. 8 Derrick Harvey getting inked in Jacksonville. Pro Football Weekly thinks it may be a while before that happens.
Not surprisingly, some observers are getting their panties in a [...]

Bengals safety Chinedum Ndukwe was carted off the field this morning with an apparent knee injury. Ndukwe, a seventh-round gem the Bengals found in the 2007 draft, had been challenging incumbent Dexter Jackson for the starting SS position. C. Trent is reporting that Nduwke is already back on the field so hopefully it's nothing serious.

The baseball trade deadline has come and gone with excitement, the NFL pre-season is on the horizon, and "Redeem" Team USA is about to take Beijing by storm. Yet these athletes can't stay off the front page and in most cases, it's not good.

The Bengals last night signed first-round draft pick Keith Rivers to a rookie contract, and shortly thereafter Rivers blogged about it in the Yard. Rivers started training camp today. A few months back, I met with Keith and his then teammate Thomas Williams, who is now a linebacker in Jacksonville. It was the day after Pro Day at USC, and I told 'em both that I was looking forward...

This summer we heard a lot from Chad Johnson talking to the media. Shoot, we always hear a lot from Johnson, but this summer it was about him wanting to be traded. Jeremy Shockey complained to the Giants much like Chad has, and Shockey wound up in a Saints uniform. So why hasn't Ocho Cinco left yet? Could it be his big mouth?
Johnson recently commented that he wants to...

With training camps now under way, there remains only two 1st round picks yet to sign deals: Jacksonville's Derrick Harvey who went eighth, and Cincinnati's Keith Rivers who went ninth.
The Jaguars' displeasure with the Harvey holdout has been made pretty apparent. Harvey's representatives want money similar to what the 7th pick, Sedrick Ellis received. The Jaguars...

Remember last year's preseason game against the Falcons? The one where there was an occasional reference to the game being played during a three-hour discussion of Michael Vick? Well, prepare for the Bengals to play second fiddle to the Brett Favre circus next Monday night. I suppose I ought to feel grateful toward Ocho Farveo. [...]

Quarterback Carson Palmer is picking his Cincinnati Bengals to win the AFC North because he believes the lessons learned from previous seasons are finally sinking in. Palmer also feels that a demanding schedule will play a big role in who survives the four-team race that has resulted no repeat division champions since its inception in 2002.
