i suspect Harvin is as good as gone from the Vikings

dont need Fitz, he’s already 30 and contract is too high

with the way spielman drafted this year hitting on basically every pick, trade for first round pick or second/third – second/fourth scenario. could really use depth & LB, DL, secondary and starting wr’s. also looks like Jenning from GB is already campaigning to sign with us as FA in offseason.

Although Fitz is an amazing player who I’d love to see play for the Vikes, his contract is just too much to burden. A team should be built around a QB and not any other position, especially a WR. If we lose Harvin, a 1st or early 2nd rounder would suffice.

Harvin is an incredible athlete with an ego to match.

Who ever signs him next year ( He won’t be a Viking ) is going to have to come to terms that the guy has issues.

Lots of Percy Jerseys we given s Christmas presents. Hope he stays and this doesn’t get all over-hyped. Personally, I don’t think Fitz will happen. I think Percy is younger and more diverse.

High 1st round pick or a package. While he plays the game every announcer on TV has called him the most talented pound to pound player in the NFL.

Trade him for a box of Twinkies…who cares.

It was nice while it lasted, and I’d love for him to stay in purple, but if he wants to go, let him go.

Hey Percy, say it with me: “Welcome to WalMart, can I get you a basket or a cart?”

Viking fans are getting pretty delusional. Fitz for harvin? Have you lost your minds? Not to mention someone trading a top ten 1st rounder or any first rounder for him. If the Vikings trade him it is because he has become a cancer and will be lucky to get anything better than a 3rd rounder for him. You dont think other teams realize this? It happens all the time with malcontents.

Right like Brandon Marshall, what did the Dolphins get for him again?

Nobody will want him now. Best case bring him back next year and hope he understands that he’s playing for his next contract/team.

Fitz for Harvin & a pick.
The Cards are spending money on Fitz with no one to get him the ball. Even when Ponder struggled he could get it to his outlet man & he returns kicks. With no QB Harvin is more valuable to the Cards than Fitz, given the cost of each.

They surprisingly made the playoffs, and he doesn’t want to be around that atmosphere?

I don’t see Harvin in a Redskins uniform… too much money in a year we take another 18 million salary cap hit (Thanks Mara, you Bum!). The fact that Harvin would cost too much, coupled with his downside potential, could add up to his negatives outweighing his positives. See Harvin? This is what you get when you label yourself a prima-donna in the NFL and display off the field problems and bad attitude: no one wants to take a shot on you. The Redskins are in the cat-bird seat: more talented players will want to be a Redskin with the advent of RG3, Morris and the resurgence the Skins are experiencing, so perhaps we don’t have to gamble on a guy like Percy.

Fitzgerald for Harvin? Why don’t you ask the Saints if they’d be interested in a Rudolph for Jimmy Graham trade, or maybe they could ship Ponder out to Seattle for Russel Wilson.

Harvin has very little leverage. He is under contract for all of next year, and even the following year he can be franchise tagged, if it came to it. He is a desirable talent with a very undesirable attitude, and it will only get worse when he likely holds out this next off-season without an extension. Ultimately, the Vikings have all of the leverage, they’re playing there best football without him, and he’ll either have to get on board, or they can hold onto him until someone shells out high draft pick(s) or a comparable player for him.

Well, the Cards were dumb enough to think that Kolb was an elite franchise QB, so you never know…

The Randy Moss trade got the head coach fired, wasted a draft pick, destroyed the 2010 season and the worst thing that came out of it is he ruined Percy Harvin. Let Percy go! Great football player, but he will forever be a headache, no pun intended.

Harvin will be a Redskin in 2013. You heard it here first.

How? how could the Skins make that deal ???

—

as badly as I would love to trade Harvin for Fitz, I don’t see it happening, especially now that Reid will be taking over.

I would trade him to the highest bidder on draft day. Hopefully someone like Oakland / Cleveland / Jacksonville, is dumb enough to give us a chance at Jarvis Jones or Manti Te’o

It’s never a good sign when an injured player, especially a prominent one, ends up staying away from the team. Daunte Culpepper did that in 2005 after his knee got blown out, came back with an attitude problem and was promptly traded. On the other hand, when Matt Birk missed a season with injuries, he was on the sideline every week.

Harvin is electric on the field, and always brings his A-game. That said, if his staying away is because he’s ticked about something, then maybe it is best that he hit the road.

Harvin would do well to remember something. If it wasn’t for Brad Childress (though I am no fan of Childress’s) Harvin would have fallen much further in the draft than he did. It was the Viking organization that took a chance on him when 21 other teams passed because of his off-the-field issues.

While the Vikings could sure use his talent on the field, they will be looking for new WRs this offseason anyway. If Harvin doesn’t want to come back, then trade him for a high draft pick or an established WR.

You seem to hate all the other Viking players. What makes you want Harvin on the Redskins? He’ll only take away from Alfred Morris. You do know Harvin lines up in the backfield sometimes, right?

BTW – I’d love the deal for Fitz, but I just don’t see that happening, plus with Larry comes his old man who is as bad Harvin.

By: dcviking

dcviking — Thu, 03 Jan 2013 19:29:44 +0000

Time for Percy to go. Can’t doubt his competiveness or talent, but the Moss Jr. statement is pretty accurate.

Yes, I don’t see the Vikings getting equal talent; however, its one less distraction.

Send him back to Florida (Jacksonville) so he can re-unite with Tebow for a #2.

AS a Viking Fan, I love the talent of the kid. The Vikings have done everything they could to help his migraines, and he returns the favor by throwing weights at coaches and disrespecting them. Hasn’t anyone noticed how good the Vikings have become without this nuisance?

Patriots don’t re-sign Welker and will somehow get a hold of Harvin this off season.
