Cowboys sign LB Keith Rivers

[JoeyBoy718]

I don't like it. I wanted our LBers to stay intact. Guess that's not gonna happen. Hopefully McClain stays at least. Though I really hoped Carter stayed too. This move shows he's probably gone.

 

[LatinMind]

wow this is a nice signing. No rolando McClain needed.

SAM Rivers
MIKE Hitchens
WILL Lee

I love that.

Rivers is the same age as Lee only 28

 

[Floatyworm]

Still trying to figure out how he fits.......Strong side starter? W/ Wilber backing up?

SLB- Rivers/Wilber

MLB- McClain/Lee

WLB- Durant/Hitchens

 

[LatinMind]

LBer core as of now

Lee
Hitchens
Rivers
Watson
Lawrence
Wilber

Soon to be Durant. There are your 2015 lbers

lets not get carried away here,this guy has done the rounds and there is a reason he is not sticking.

 

[lwehlers]

rivers, really? man if we have to depend on this guy we are in trouble. I do not see rivers making it out of training camp. I thought he was out of the league already.

 

[reddyuta]

i dont remember him doing anything for the giants and they are desperate for linebackers.

 

[JoeyBoy718]

Awful career stats. Complete bust. Hope he doesn't make it on the final roster.

Yep. everybody does not hate Keith Rivers. there is a reason he keeps getting cut.

Thats what people thought about Mincey last yr and Selvie the yr before, and Mcclain when he was signed last yr. McClay does a great job scouting FA's. If they sign they are probably going to stick. He has had some injures 2 out of the last 3 yrs. Thats why he is cheap. He was a very good peice for NY before he got started getting nicked up.

Everybody was bashing the trade for McClain because they gave up a pick that ended up being a 6th.

 

[KingintheNorth]

Hmmm, do I approve of this signing?

 

[Bullflop]

I'm expecting nothing other than experienced (affordable) depth from him. He's been a JAG for the past 7 yrs.

I'd love to think this is yet another gem uncovered by Will McClay but we'll certainly have to see about that.

i am hoping we draft a starter who can play at a high level,dont trust any one on our roster right now.

 

[perrykemp]

he is hurt a lot,will fit in nicely here.

Ok, this made me chuckle but this level of cynicism maybe isn't warranted anymore after the season the Cowboys just had.

more like frustration,we seem to fascinated by LBs who have trouble staying healthy and we have to bring guys off the street to finish the season.

from bengals to giants, to bills to cowboys. whats this guys deal. why is he bouncing around and never sticks?

Let's hope not most injury prone core in the NFL.

i am talking about when he played for the giants,i bet the giants fans dont remember either.

Simple he isn't that good.
