From Len Pasqarelli. It essentially HAD to be us or Cleveland. By the tone of this it would seem it was done a while ago, rather than being under the Saban era. This comes during an article shredding any chance of Rivers to the 9ers:
"Want some truth in all of this? Here it is: Long before San Diego deposited the $6.6 million payment into Rivers' bank account, it could have traded him, since there were at least two suitors interested. In fact, San Diego could have dealt him to a team with a very high choice in the first round, and opted not to."
