"We hear that while the Patriots love Givens for his production and work ethic, they are concerned by the fact that he has missed time with various nagging injuries in his career. Word is New England would like to keep Givens and will make an offer to him. However, if a team blows him away with a lucrative deal, the Patriots would probably choose to fill the No. 2 receiver role through the draft rather than having to outbid the suitor."

Not saying that this isn't true, but it's hard to see how it's news. "We like **** but we won't pay an absurd price to keep him". Of whom might that not be said?

Still here to learn

makes sense. only i think they'll offer him competetive money. not bank breaking but a good offer. if he goes i think they'll try to fill the #2 spot with free agency and depth in the draft.

They hear it, pretty much the way I've heard it too!

Isn't the maximum RFA tender something like $1.8mil, and a team would have to come up with two draft picks if they signed him?

PATSNUTme

I think he is a URFA this year. They did tender him last year at 1.4 mil I believe.

Willie55

Nothing earth shattering there. I think that's about what all of us expected.

He's an Unrestricted Free Agent.

oldrover

Uh... hello?!?!?! I KNOW he's an UFA this year. They said LAST year he got the highest tender at $1.43m, and my understanding was that 1.43mil is NOT the highest tender as an RFA. There's one at 1.8mil that requires 2 #1 picks as comp.

UFA is a total FA unless you Franchise him (average of top five at position) or Transition him (average of top ten at position). But all the transition buys you is the right to match an offer.
