Percy Harvin is hitting the vaporizer

[Mother****erJones]

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.

The Seahawks gave up at least a first-round pick in the Harvin trade.

Wilson now has Rice, Harvin and Tate to throw at.

Must be nice having an NFL worthy QB.

Chiefs fans hate good football players.

I don't know what it is about Rice but he just doesn't seem to make the plays you would expect from someone with his raw abilities. He's frequently injured, too. Maybe a full season with Wilson will make for a jump in his productivity.

I don't think he's a #1 WR.....but he's a damn good #2.

Overrated.

New contract? Check.

Legalized Pot? Check.

Russell has proven nothing. He has talent but one season is nothing. Him, Luck, Griff and Kap have not proven anything but they have and upside. Consistant seasons prove how good you are.

Seattle got screwed

And he just got another weapon to help prove himself.

That's a lot to give up for a disgruntled player who wants a huge payday. I understand he's a good fit in Seattle, and should fit in well there, but Damn.

Seattle sends this years first round pick and a 7th rounder as well as a mid-round pick next year for Harvin. Win-win for both teams



HOLY SHIT

Agreed - the draft pick plus the huge salary to keep him means that he'd better play out of his goddamned mind once he's there. Good news for my #2 team, though!

You can laugh at Seattle all day long. But they are a legit Super Bowl contending frontrunner now.
