Harvin wants out

[Huskie]

It was time to cut bait and if the drafting goes well, we'll get something in return.

[Rick]

Like I said when everyone said we wouldn't get a 1st for him...We got a 1st rounder and more

Will miss Percy's playing but not the antics.

Well done Spielman...if your pics pan out

[CodyDawg]

I cant stand head-case athletes like Percy. He signed the contract. He let his team down by not being with them the rest of the season. Good riddance. The fact we got something for him is even better. This is the kind of deal that can bring down Seattle. If his attitude doesnt improve or he is perpetually hurt (not a good track record, small guy, plays recklessly, etc) this could backfire on them.

[zepman]

or it could win them a Super Bowl.....

[Stcloudangler]

Bingo. Seattle is at worst, a 4th seed in next years playoffs

[Stcloudangler]

seroiusly?? AP's effort is unequaled, and he has the character to match. Percy should have taken some lessons...

He's got the talent, I'll grant you that, but his whining and games put him just a small step above Moss, heart wise. We can do better, glad to see him go.

Don't even compare him to Moss, Percy never has, and never will take a play off. The fact that once he gets the ball in his hands and wont go down is the heart I was talking about. Pound for pound, better than AP

So Harvin was the 22nd pick in the 2009 Draft, now we have the 23rd and 25th pick in the Draft....hopefully we can get a Harvin replacement at roughly the same spot. Let's hope for another Diamond in the rough, how about a NON-headcase this time.

[Fish Head]

Vikings just traded Percy to Seattle for this years 1st and 7th round pick and a mid-round next year.

I hate to see Percy go, but at least they got some compensation. They need to have another draft like last year.

[BartmanMN]

Really wish he would have been engaged here, since in the beginning of the year he was my favorite player. Hopefully we can make the picks pay off.

[Rippinlip]

Wow, Hope they get something is the means of a top receiver in the FA market. Nice to have some weapons mature for this year.

[chanfish]

good trade for both teams..we are rebuilding the right way while seattle's going all in...if these picks pan out i see us in playoffs esp if we get a fa wr...this is a deep draft so i am liking our chances to get two more blue chip players..loved harvin but hated all this drama. my worst fear would be we do nothing, he holds out and we get nothing....or he plays but hits the sidelines like last year..cant have your players going off on your headcoach like that..

[SkunkedAgain]

Harvin will do well in a new situation, and reunited with Sidney Rice. Good move for the Vikings.

Besides getting three draft picks they also free up cap space that can be used to target a FA receiver, such as Greg Jennings or someone similar. With the way that Rick Spielman has been drafting, they should be able to find another young WR this year.

[Musky Buck]

What did Harvin get ?

We only freed up less then 1 million by trading him. It will be hard to replace him for that price.

[LABS4ME]

The Vikes should use the Seattle 1st round pick and go get Cruz... you still have a 1st round pick, a known comodity in Cruz, and an extra 7th round and an extra mid round next year. Not a bad scenario...

Good Luck!

[Scott K]

I am kinda disappointed in Lmit!

He didnt quite make the connection.

Cheeck Harvin gets traded to Seattle Washington, right after Washington makes toking up legal. Coincidence? Maybe, Maybe not

[mrklean]

I cant believe Seattle caved that early and gave up 3 picks including a 1st for him. When the 49ers got Boldon for a 6th round pick, yeah hes older but he has 3-4 solid years left and isnt a cancer in the lockeroom or injury prone. I hope Havin turns into Sidney Rice in Seattle and falls on his face.

[schmitty3]

If he couldn't get along with Leslie Frazier, it'll be interesting to see how he handles Pete Carroll.

[fishersofmen]

I hope Havin turns into Sidney Rice in Seattle and falls on his face.

I do to. They better stroke that ego for this queen real good. He should just go join Marbury over in China.

[ted4887]

If there is a coach in the league other than Belichick that could mentor a head-case, it would be Pete Carroll. The guy did wonders with head-cases at USC.

Schmitty, Percy didn't have a problem with Frazier...his problem was with PONDER!

Frazier was just the middle-man...

[chanfish]

harvin has had blowups with all his coaches including at florida.. he basically did whatever he wanted to do and blew off the coaches..(prima donna) thats why he will be seeing it rain in seattle the rest of his career!! we got lucky cause the niners wanted him and seahawks knew it and jumped in.. for once we got on the right side of this...we do need to bring in a backup qb. a legit one...cause ponder has had a history of injuries going back to college too.. luv all this talk and am excited about the possibilities..

[ikatcher]

Wonder why Harvin had such a problem with Ponder? Pretty sure he was leading the leauge in receptions before he was injured.That offense was built for a slot receiver. He is an silly-me.Dont let the the door hit you in the behind on your way out!

[LABS4ME]

How does everyone know his problem was with Ponder? Anyone have any thing solid to share as far as info? I have not heard any release by the Vikes or Harvin the entire second half of the season through yesterday as to what the issues were, I don't believe they even officially said he melted down on Frazier... all the radio mouths say it was about Ponder, but seems to be a lot of speculation.

[Musky Buck]

I'll share this observation from last nights sports feeds on fox9, 45, 11, 4, etc. Watched Percy closely last night, all touchdown plays, he never hugged, high 5'ed, or even acknowledged his teammates after scoring, he only shined the light spreading out his arms on himself. Rudolph waited for him to get up after scoring, couldn't wait to celebrate it with him and no dice, Kyle just pulled back his hands arms and went for the sideline, many others didn't even waste their time running to the endzone to rally with him. Never saw Ponder in a clip with him after scoring and they all weren't kickoff returns. Generally humble types will share the glory a little, I didn't realize he was that consumed with himself.
