First I've heard of that. I'd love to re-sign him although Caldwell and Gaffney are the same "type" of WR to me.

I like him better as a WR too, but they're the same type of (relatively) slowish, unathletic big posession WR. We kind of need the small, quick Branch type more. Don't get me wrong, though, the 2005 Givens would be our #1 WR IMO.Except that Givens is a much, much, much better blocker.
It was reported on rotoworld.com and they were talking about it on WEEI a bit today during Dale and Holley.

David Givens (torn ACL) is not expected to be ready for Week 1 in 2007.
Even if Tennessee pulls off re-signing free agent Drew Bennett, the club is expected to add wideouts in the draft and/or free agency. With the Titans a projected $37 million under the salary cap, it won't be a surprise if they're willing to take a potential cap hit to part ways with Givens.

I'm glad that he got his big signing bonus if this is a carrer ending injury for him.
If he's not going to be ready to play for the Titans, why would we sign him?
Here's the article :

It says NOTHING about him being released, just that he is unlikely to be ready at the start of the season. The release part was evidently speculation on RotoWorld's part.
