  Cowboys | Keith Rivers signs    Wed Mar 4, 08:20 PM

Free-agent LB Keith Rivers (Bills) signed a one-year deal with the Dallas Cowboys Wednesday, March 4. Rivers will add depth to the team's linebacking group. He has plenty of experience playing both weakside and strongside linebacker. Financial terms of the deal weren't disclosed.

Footballguys view: This is a good move for the Cowboys. Rivers will give the team valuable veteran depth with Bruce Carter, Rolando McClain, and Justin Durant all free agents.

  Bills | Preston Brown runs first-team defense     Tue Jun 3, 05:21 PM

Buffalo Bills LB Preston Brown ran the first-team defense Tuesday, June 3, at organized team activities. Brown played the middle linebacker position and made all the pre-snap calls, in the absence of LB Brandon Spikes (undisclosed). LBs Keith Rivers and Nigel Bradham flanked Brown in the first-team base defense.

Footballguys view: Brown has the ability to be a starter in this league, so practicing with the first team is no surprise. He'll work effectively as a two-down thumper, but he needs to work better in coverage in order to be a three-down player.

  Giants | Spencer Paysinger pushing to start    Tue Aug 6, 12:01 PM

New York Giants LB Spencer Paysinger is pushing for a starting spot at weakside linebacker, with LB Keith Rivers expected to start on the strong side and LB Mark Herzlich manning the middle spot.

Footballguys view: Jacquian Williams is his main competition. The Giants linebacker group has waiver wire potential in IDP leagues, but none of them should be drafted except in very deep leagues. Herzlich might be worth a pickup in deep dynasty leagues.
