Givens is not value at 5 Mil a year for the Patriots, therefore he was not signed.
If the number 2 reciever in a "spread the ball around to everyone passing offense" is worth 5 mil, what would they have to pay Deion Branch ?
Givens was solid, but 5 Mil is #1 money, and Givens is not a game breaker. He is a very good posession receiver. In the Patriots offense no one receiver is that valuable. Deion Branch is the only irreplacable receiver on the Patriots offense.
Congratulations and good luck to David Givens.
