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.

Good info!

25 over 5 will be too much for Belioli also.

Maybe next, Blank can tell us when Givens uses the bathroom and how it so impressed the Dolphins that they upped the offer to 30 over 5. What a douche.

It takes me back to Friday night and the Cleveland thing. I suppose its possible it was a simple computer error that resulted in the 'Browns sign Givens' story - yet considering this news from Houston, how am I supposed to know the reporter didn't post the story as a result of the assurance of Chatty Brad Blank?

givens is worth 3 mil a year, tops...

His agent is a clown. I hope the Pats don't resign him just because of the tool of an agent Givens has.

If you are serious than you are a clown for posting this remark.

5 years $25M ? Pass.

CrazyDave 03-12-2006 07:41 PM

25 mil 5 yrs - what categorie would that be?
I mean, is that "elite" money? Middle of the road?
