I've poked around and I really can't find anything definitive and I was hoping one of the Bengal loyalists could help me out. Why did the Bengals trade Keith Rivers for a 5th round pick? Did they just grow weary from paying him to be on the trainers table all the time? There's no denying the man's talent (he was consistently thought of the best linebacker on a USC squad composed of himself/Rey Maualuga/Brian Cushing/Clay Matthews III) but you can't contribute if you're always hurt. Didn't know if it went beyond his health or not..

Now watch, he'll play 16 games for the Giants next season and be a pro-bowler (if there is such a thing).
