bp1802 Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Hobson Down to one By GEOFF HOBSON July 26, 2008 ShareThis 2:30 p.m. With the Bengals about 24 hours from their first team meeting of the season, first-rounder Keith Rivers looks to be the only rookie that doesn't have a contract agreement. Indications are that third-rounder Andre Caldwell is in the fold and the Florida wide receiver figures to sign his deal at some point Sunday. Players have to report to Georgetown College by noon Sunday in preparation for Monday morning's first practice. It looks like Rivers may not be in that first wave even though the player drafted behind him, Patriots linebacker Jerod Mayo at No. 10, is in. But the two players ahead of him, Sedrick Ellis at No. 7 and Derrick Harvey at No. 8, are out. The top six are in and it's at the point where Rivers agents David Dunn and Joby Branion may be deciding if they want to take a deal without Ellis and Harvey in before them. According to NFL.com Rivers is one of eight unsigned first-rounders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texbengal Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Good to see... I think he's going to be an important part of the team at some point during the season. To me, he gives you more than Tab Perry (whom I also liked) provided - with less size (he's still big, but not as big as Tab), but more speed and quickness -- and the ability to contribute on gadget plays like Tab did, but with even more versatility. And he's already a much more polished receiver than Tab was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Dan_Bengals_FL- Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 After Rivers, you could argue that Caldwell will have the biggest impact in the eyes of fans in the 2008 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
