Percy Harvin traded

[locked&loaded]

the jets should convert percy to QB so that they have 3 qbs who can only run and not throw

Well Russell Wilson did get a divorce over the offseason. Hmmmmm?

Rumor has it that Russell Wilson wasn't getting along with Harvin. Therefore, another 'divorce.' Perhaps, Wilson is difficult to get along with

That's the story in Seattle believe it or not.

He's a headache waiting to happen.

Nicely done

And guess what the Jets are drafting next year? Another QB?

Rex Ryan, Michael Vick, Geno Smith, Chris Johnson and now Percy Harvin. Should an interesting 9 more games this year for the Jets and the NY media. Hilarious.

They could win a track meet.

It will be interesting to see if Ryan keeps his job. Apparently the owner loves him. If he doesn't will the new coach want a new QB.

Why do teams keep trading him? I heard it was a conditional mid round pick? whoa.

The Vikings trading him made sense. He was about to enter the last year of his contract and would probably leave via free agency. They were able to get a good trade deal.

It sort of makes sense for Seattle, too. They realize they made a bad trade and are cutting their losses before his base salary goes up $3 million to $10 million per season. If they are going to move forward without him, now is the time to do it and take the salary cap hit instead of in the future. They have to re-sign Russell Wilson in the off season.

They have to find a way to get rid of huge contracts because of Russell Wilson's huge upcoming pay day. I think it was a great move by them.

 

[joseephuss]

I'm guessing something happened there. He was reportedly in a twist after he had all of those TDs called back against the Skins and then he didn't get a lot of balls thrown to him in the loss to Dallas. I'll bet somebody said something to the wrong person.

He only plays 60% of the offensive snaps. A good starter usually sees more than that in a game.

Bought a new car for a used car price. I think they decided they'd rather spend that $10 mil next season on a better #1 WR.

Honeymoon is over for the Seahawks. San Diego created the wound, we opened it up more, and now they are questioning their very core.

Still a good team but no dynasty here folks...

Never was considered a dynasty before all that.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

Rotoworld - Multiple reports suggest Harvin's anger management issues led to his trade to the Jets.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Well, only reason we got Haley was he wore out his welcome somewhere else.

It appears that is the case with Harvin.

I love this. One less guy to worry about come playoff time

Good point, but why do it now? As far as I've heard, they can't do anything with Wilson's contract until after the season.

 

[Plankton]

Why would the Jets take that contract?

The Jet GM is John Idzik, who worked in the Seahawk front office prior to taking the Jet job.

2. It takes a big weapon away from an offense that is already somewhat one-dimensional.

Unfortunately it takes one more weapon off the field when they play Philly and NYG. :-(

Seattle will miss him, but Geno Smith will miss him more.

Moving on from the contract and getting anything in return was good for the Seahawks. It seemed clear he did not fit in their offense and they had no idea if there was a way to utilize him. Seattle will now save $6.47 million in salary cap space and salary this year by trading him, money that can be rolled over to the 2015 season and used for the Wilson extension. Harvin will carry a $7.2 million dead money charge on the Seahawks 2015 salary cap, which represents another $5.7 million in freed up cap space, though it was likely they were releasing him next year anyway.

I see what you did there.
