To the guy who calls me ignorant, look at the headlines today, if you could read between the lines you would have understood I was trying to get the point of “he doesn’t want to be a Viking”

87 Receptions + 1832 yards + 9 Tds = MORE MONEY!!!!!!! And for a “part time” player those are some pretty good numbers!!!!

Who cares? We worry about paying to get our financially underwater houses fixed…..I say F them if they signed a contract and now they want to tip it up.
That’s the problem with the world now…. We think it’s ok to gripe even though he Made a promise a few years ago.
Bleeping gators…..

Maybe it’s just me, but there seems to be some kind of misconception involving Harvin around here. I took the time to double check before I shot my mouth off (some of you should try it some time….) and found that:

He has played in 45 games in his 3 years. Hmmmmm……. I thought there were only 16 games in a season. Maybe I’m wrong about that.

He averages about 5 catches/game. elite? No, not yet. Better than Calvin Johnson, Reggie Wayne, Roddy White, any current Packers receiver, or a host of other names that would be brought up as superior to Harvin did in their first 3 years? Yup, easily.

Is he underpaid. Yeah, I guess. Should he hold out? No, probably not. But if I were him I would make it very clear that any hometown discount the Vikings might get when he becomes a FA will be determined by whether or not they return that respect and loyalty over the next couple years.

And as a side note…. If he is taking on a leadership role with the team, is that not something like being made a supervisor at a regular workplace? Don’t they usually get raises when they are promoted?

The only people on here saying we should cut him just hope we do so their team can go pick him up, well fat chance boys, Harvin is a Viking and will be for a long time.

First off, for all you saying he’s injury prone and misses a ton a games; He’s only missed TWO games in 3 seasons and has played with migraines. He’s the toughest guy on the team. Second, NFL contracts are such a one way deal for the owners. If the team no longer wants your services, they cut you and terminate your contract. So, if a player out performs his current contract, he should be paid Accordingly. Holding out is the only leverage a player has to better himself in a perceived “unjust” contract. When a team violates the contact by cutting the player, it’s good business, when a player does it, he’s selfish. Still, I prefer NFL contracts or MLB or NBA.

Yeah, the Vikes need to pay him. there isn’t any other player on that roster to scare a defense. You have to look at what he’s worth to the team. AP probably won’t be ready to start the season and Simpson suspended to start the season. Pay the dude..

2.5m over the next two years? HAS to holdout, especially on that squad. And they’ll HAVE to pay him. Or at least should (since they haven’t already).

As talented as Percy is — he has not shown he is reliable or durable.

Those migranes are certainly not his fault — but when you play in this league you gotta line up week after week after week.

It’s part of the deal.

There’s no luxury on a 53 man roster for a part-time player.

He really has no business belly-aching about his contract.

No wonder Percy has headaches, there is the tip of a condom stuck on the top of his head.

The same Leslie Frasier that let Adrian Peterson’s knee get annihilated in a meaningless game during a meaningless season?
