GIVENS RENEGED ON BROWNS, TOO?
We've tracked down more information regarding the events that caused David Givens to go from being inadvertently announced as a new member of the Browns before free agency even started to dropping off of the team's radar screen altogether.
Givens, we hear, had a verbal deal in place with the Browns. But, like LeCharles Bentley in Philly, Givens backed out, presumably because either or both of those teams came up with more money than the Browns had offered.
Now, Givens will focus on the Dolphins and the Texans.
Although there's nothing improper about backing out on a deal that never should have been reached in the first place due to tampering rules, look for any teams left standing at the altar to remember, for a long time, the agents involved in these transactions.
