he Dolphins are reportedly interested in New England Patriots wide receiver David Givens.

The 25-year-old receiver made $1.43 million last year and will be a hot commodity on the free-agent market -- especially since there’s not a deep class this winter.

I really think that this is the wrong year to go after a FA wide receiver. With the limited number of decent ones on the market, their price will probably be grossly over-inflated, and with Chambers-Booker-McMichael-Welker, I think that adding receiving targets can wait another season. If Miami really does feel the need to add a WR, I'd rather see them go after late (6th or later) round draft prospects, preferably in the "raw-but-gifted" or "gifted-but-character issues" mold. Low-cost, low-risk and you're not driving on another team's retreads.

I love Givens, he'd be a great addition.

I have no problem with Givens, but I think the market is going to set his price too high to make it worthwhile to add him. If he wants to come to Miami for a bargain...bring him on down! I'd consider him an upgrade over Booker for our #2 WR slot at this point of Booker's career, and having Booker as a #3 WR (& Welker as the #4) would be an impressive WR arsenal for Rivers (oops, did I say that out loud?) or Frerotte or Rosenfels or Cutler or Croyle or whoever.

I still say too expensive though...  Undecided

what about good ol' reggie wayne? If sunstroke's right, and we're gonna have to pay through the nose for a proven FA wideout, why not just go straight to the top of the list as far as talent and behavior goes?

I agree with stroke here.  While I certainly wouldn't be opposed to having Givens, I think Chambers and Booker are both better than him and Welker is an excellent third WR.  Spend the money on the O-line.
