USN Bengal Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 [b] Minnesota Vikings Reportedly Will Attempt to Trade Percy Harvin[/b] [b] By [/b] [url="http://bleacherreport.com/users/55185-rob-goldberg"]Rob Goldberg[/url] [img]http://img.bleacherreport.net/img/images/photos/002/151/634/uspw_6722788_crop_exact.jpg?w=650&h=440&q=75[/img] After apparent behavioral problems, the [url="http://bleacherreport.com/minnesota-vikings"]Minnesota Vikings[/url] will reportedly look to trade star wide receiver [url="http://bleacherreport.com/percy-harvin"]Percy Harvin[/url] this offseason. Mike Max of WCCO (via [url="http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2013/02/09/max-says-vikings-may-try-to-trade-percy-harvin/"]CBS Sports[/url]) reported that, during the season, Harvin had a "blowup [...] with Vikings head coach Leslie Frazier." That exchange seems to be at the root of this recent news. The article continues:[indent] Multiple sources tell Max that Harvin had an embarrassing tirade directed toward Frazier, disrespecting the coach during the season when Harvin was sidelined with an injured ankle. Teammates were present, and Max was told that is when Harvin left the team and was put on injured reserve...The Vikings will try to trade him, Max reports, as Harvin does have market value....[/indent] Hit the link to read it all... http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1523986-vikings-reportedly-will-attempt-to-trade-percy-harvin?utm_source=cnn.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=cnn-sports-bin&hpt=hp_bn15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigris Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Harvin the player is exactly what we need. I say take the chance and see what happens. If it doesn't work out, cut him and take the hit. We have enough cap room to take the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Need a big bodied guy. Harvin is a burner and can make stuff happen, but Bowe (pipedream) would be much better suited for what we are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cincity Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Grade A asshole AND in the last year of his contract... Would not give shit for his attitude AND contract.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texbengal Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 He's a talent, no question... not many guys can (potentially) do what he does, running, catching and returning. That said, he's a knucklehead and selfish player... He was at Florida, too. And for all of the big play stuff he's supposed to bring, he certainly wasn't indispensable as he missed half of the year and Minny still went to the playoffs. The Bengals pretty much cleaned out their locker room of selfish, me-first players and they'd be bringing a high-profile one here if they grabbed Harvin. Personally, I'd much prefer Tavon Austin. He'd be cheaper, younger, has less baggage, and doesn't have the migraine issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvin caught 79.1 percent of the balls thrown in his direction when he was in the slot. If that doesn't make you want to become Harvin's agent and get him the hell out of Minnesota, this is perhaps the most telling PFF stat ; Ponder finished the season with a passer rating of 70.1, and Donovan McNabb was just at 82.9, but on throws targeting Harvin, the pair combined for a QB rating of 97.2. He's a manipulative, free-weight throwing dick (reportedly).[/quote] [img]http://blogimages.thescore.com/nfl/files/2012/06/harvin-tweets.jpg[/img] Just a guess, if Frazier is of the same school as Marvin, then I don't want this clown. Regardless of how effective on the field Harvin may be, team chemistry is important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdubdub Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 He is what we need but your looking at ocho 2.0 if he comes here. Marvin can't control this dude. Our hc's track record proves as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dautcom08 Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 I think Harvin talent wise would catapult this offense into great things. This is the first I've heard of his attitude problems though and one thing is for sure that Marvin will be able to do all the investigating he needs with Frazier having first hand experience. Also, for those saying that Marvin wouldn't be able to control Harvin just as he couldn't control Chad, do not forget that Chad was controlled well while Hue was on the staff, which he currently is again. Don't discount that Hue could do the same with Harvin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatorclaws Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Don't forget he wants to get paid. He's got 3 strikes against aquiring him. Attitude + draft pick + big money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 How big of a weight? If it was over 50, the guy is a headcase. 40-50 may be a headcase. Less than 40, just a momentary lapse in judgement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randle P McMurphy Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Don't need him. We already have "our" version of Harvin on the roster. Mohamed Sanu. Only ours is less of a head case that's not going into a contract year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
