Percy Harvin on the trade block

[NLC1054]

The only reason why he wouldn't pull that crap here is Shanahan. After Haynesworth, players know this isn't the place to get paid and sit on your ass. Shanahan has more respect from players than Leslie Frazier. Harvin wouldn't be able to pull any of that crap and he'd find himself in more conditioning tests then he'd want to be in.

I love Shanny, but I would go so far as to say all the Vikings players don't respect Frazier. After all, he just helped that team get to the playoffs. Really, the only person who seems to have any problem with Frazier in a loud and public way is Harvin. Which tells me that he doesn't respect authority much at all, Shanahan, Frazier, Childress or otherwise.

I never said all the Vikings, it was more in general that Shanahan has been a head coach alot longer than Frazier and he will demand more respect. Sorry for the confusion. I was saying that if a player "like" Harvin wanted to pull a Haynesworth or any other player in the NFL that wants to come her for that matter, they have another thing coming.

Harvin would be a beast for us, but what do we have to get him?

Besides, we are going to get Da'Rick Rogers in the 2nd rd., so we won't need him. Ha-ha...

Yeah I wish we could get Rogers. But he'll be going early 2nd.

Harvin is a dynamic playmaker. Tue Redskins would be foolish not to sniff around a trade.

All the malcontent talk misses the key point: the tone of a football team is set by the quarterback and head coach. I would bet that Harvin would not cause nearly as much trouble with RGIII and Shanahan leading the way. In Minnesota, he had Favre, who didn't respect Childress either, and Christian Ponder, who really has no credibility. It would be nice to think that all 20 something year old professional athletes had sparkling personalities, but its not the case.

Typically, if you look at teams with credible quarterbacks and head coaches, malcontent players who are added to the equation are on their best behavior. Take Randy Moss as an example. A head case everywhere he's been, paired with Brady and Belichek, he was a dominant force and didn't rock the boat.

No team is signing Harvin long-term without hedging their bets. The dynamic he could add to Shanahans offense is spectacular.

If we can trade for him and get him signed for 4 or 5 years, I'm all for it.

We just need to hold out for one more year and draft D'Anthony Thomas from Oregon next year. He was born to play in our offense.

Black Jesus and Black Mamba in the same offense.

Get Stedman Bailey... he would be a damn good pickup in this offense....

Stedman Bailey, Markus Wheaton, Tavon Austin, Marquise Goodwin, Ace Sanders. There are some legit, game changing playmakers who are going to be in the second wrong, and almost all of them will be way less expensive and way less baggage.

How did we go from "draft picks are currency and valuable" to "pfft, who needs those draft picks, who ever came out of the second round that was a good as Harvin?". The dude isn't Jerry Rice or Randy Moss or something.

Looks like Percy Harvin's taking his team player reputation to the classy organization that is the Seahawks.

The Seahawks and Vikings have agreed to a trade that would send wide receiver Percy Harvin to Seattle for draft picks pending he passes a physical, FOXSports.com has learned.

Harvin, who is entering the final year of his rookie deal, has been adamant about an extension, but the Vikings looked to cut bait on the premier talent.

Seattle seemed like an ideal landing spot as Harvin has worked with Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell, who coached Harvin in Minnesota during his rookie season

rumor has it that the vikings might go after victor cruz and give up a 1st in doing so... that means the giants would have 2 1st's in this draft :X damn!

[Bang]

Wilson and Harvin = a scary duo.

I'd rather them have two 1's than keep Cruz

Harvin was made for the pistol read offense. This was a do or die move by the Seahawks and if Harvin can stay healthy, their offense is going to be impossible.

That being said, they gave up a 1st rounder, a couple other picks and will have to give him a huge contract for a guy that is on the smaller side and gets hurt at least once a year.

Steadman Bailey's skillset is completely different from the others you mention. Bailey is not as quick or dangerous after the catch. He's not slow, but I think he is more of a possession WR than a playmaker like the others.
