The Boston Globe reports the Carolina Panthers have inquired about meeting with free agent WR David Givens (Patriots), according to Givens' agent, Brad Blank.

Nice... He's one of the top available FA WR out there this season. I just assumed he was out of the price range.

 

[Thelt]

He would make a nice addition to our receiving corps.

 

[stratocatter]

Dag, we've spent a ton already. How many guys can we sign? Be great to have him here though.

 

[magnus]

Wow.

Yes please.

 

[Thelt]

per KFFL the Titans have made him an offer.

Texans | Givens too expensive to sign?
Sun, 12 Mar 2006 1704 -0800

John McClain, of the Houston Chronicle, reports the Houston Texans spent Sunday, March 12, meeting with free agent WR David Givens (Patriots). Givens reportedly wants $25 million over five years and that's out of the Texans' price range. Late Saturday night, March 11, the Texans said Boston-based agent Brad Blank informed them that Givens was going to re-sign with the New England Patriots. This morning, Givens came to Houston as scheduled, told the Texans there had been some miscommunication and that he was definitely interested. They still haven't given up on him, but the price is too high.

Please please Panthers sign Givens.If the cat's sign him we will become the best team in the NFL

I don't see any way in hell we could sign him.

The Texans targeted Givens, the Humble native who earned two Super Bowl rings in his four seasons with New England, as the offensive player they wanted the most.

Givens, 25, was offered $18.5 million over five years, but he is going to Nashville, Tenn., today to meet with the Titans.

If Tennessee comes close to meeting his asking price of almost $25 million over five years, the Titans will have the best chance of signing him.
