Via Pro Football Zone  |  April 14, 2012
New York Giants owner John Mara spoke with Michael Eisen of Giants.com about rule changes and serving on the NFL Competition Committee.  One of the things that struck me the most, was that he indicated that he could see the kickoff being eliminated all together. “We had a lot of discussions about whether we should eliminate it and if we did what we could do in its place,” he...

Cincinnati Bengals trade Keith Rivers to the New York Giants

Via The Football Fan Spot  |  April 13, 2012
Trade for Cincinnati: Rivers is an above average linebacker when healthy, but the Bengals have a good depth of linebackers already (Maualuga, Manny Lawson, Thomas Howard, and 2011 3rd rounder Dontay Moch) and they had one of the best defenses in the league last season without Rivers playing a snap. Rivers is an injury risk going forward and would likely not be resigned as a free...
