Big Score 1 Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 (edited) Browns | Team wastes no time in signing Givens Fri, 10 Mar 2006 21:01:46 -0800 Zac Jackson, of ClevelandBrowns.com, reports the Cleveland Browns wasted no time in free agency by signing free agent WR David Givens (Patriots) to an undisclosed contract. Wow....1 minute 46 seconds....that's gotta be a record. Edited March 11, 2006 by Big Score 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyBalata Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 If not can we say tempering. Tempering and oh my god more tempering. 1363621[/snapback] Since none of these FREE AGENTS are on a tearms roster, I'm not seeing how there can be any tampering. I'm not sure of the rules, but obviously teams have been able to negotiate with players before FA opens, they're just not allowed to sign or make anything official until it does open.

kpholmes Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Browns | Reports of Givens signing were false Fri, 10 Mar 2006 23:21:13 -0800 John Clayton, of ESPN.com, reports earlier reports of the Cleveland Browns signing free agent WR David Givens (Patriots) were false.

Not that it matters in the long run. He'll sign with the Browns in a couple of days ... Tooo bad, I'd wondered about him for Pittsburgh if we lose AREl.
