Percy Harvin is hitting the vaporizer
Percy Harvin - WR - Vikings
According to Yahoo Sports' Jason Cole, Percy Harvin is targeting a deal in the range of Calvin Johnson's as opposed to Dwayne Bowe or Vincent Jackson. Harvin considers himself a "special" player and reportedly wants $16.5 annually, which would put him right behind Megatron ($18.8M average) and ahead of Larry Fitzgerald ($16.06M). Bowe and Jackson, the NFL's third and fourth highest-paid wideouts, collect $11.2M and $11.1M per year, respectively. Per Cole, Harvin "threatened to walk out on the team" last offseason after hearing the Patriots gave Aaron Hernandez a contract extension after only two NFL seasons. "[The Vikings are] in a tough spot," one source told Cole. "If you don't take some aggressive action, this could get really bad." Harvin seems 50:50 to be a Viking in 2013. Per rotoworld.com |

And everyone wonders why there is the talk of the Vikings targeting Wallace.

Sounds like the kind of guy you could give $20MM a year to and he would be broke 5 years after he retires. |

Harvin is a special player; however, I think his injury history has to come into play.
Megatron is elite! I can't imagine another WR getting that kind of money. I've always thought Fitzgerald was overhyped and overpaid. Just because the Cards made a mistake doesn't mean other teams should do the same. IMO Harvin should probably be paid near what Bowe received. Not because of his receiving prowess but because of his ability to run the ball and do KR. Most likely though, if he gets a big contract they won't want to risk injury with the KR and he would just be a WR or getting balls out of the backfield dramatically decreasing his impact on the game. |

If we are going just purely by stats, the guy is just a notch below. Hes never even had a 1000 yard recieving season.

Bowe is a bargain compared to what Harvin is asking for.
If I had to pick one of the 2 I take Bowe everyday. |
