Givens' price may be too high for Texans

Today was another busy day for the Texans, who lost their first unrestricted free agent, signed a restricted free agent to an offer sheet and spent most of the afternoon with New England receiver David Givens.
Givens, one of the prime free-agent prospects, wants $25 million over five years. That's out of the Texans' ballpark.
Givens, a Humble native, is headed to Nashville to visit with the Titans. If Tennessee comes closes to the $25-million demand, the Titans may get the four-year veteran.
The Texans were excited about the possibility of signing Givens and starting him opposite Andre Johnson. Late Saturday night, the Texans said Boston-based agent Brad Blank informed them that Givens was going to re-sign with New England.
This morning, Givens came to Houston as scheduled, told the Texans there had been some miscommunication and that he was definitely interested in returning to his hometown team.
Unfortunately for the Texans, Givens left Reliant Stadium without a contract. They still haven't given up on him, but the price is too high.
