Percy Harvin now a Seahawk
- Thread starter JP4CY
- Start date
The Seahawks will now have Wilson, Lynch, and Harvin on field often. It will be interesting what other teams do defensively to contains those guys.
Wallace seems poised to go to the Dolphins and Jennings wants to play for a top QB
Slot receivers are a dime a dozen. Harvin was not. Harvin was the silver dollar of slot receivers. He is a complete stud and worth 2x any other slot. The slot is a luxury, a #1 is basically a necessity.
Glazer just said the Vikings got a 1st, 7th this year and a mid round pick next year.
Gives the Vikings 11 picks this year.
First- 2
Second-1
Third- 1
Fourth- 1 + 8th pick in round
Fifth- 1
Sixth- 1 +5th pick in round
Seventh- 1 +25th pick in round

Kudos to the Vikes front office guys. Even if there weren't other picks/compensation beyond the first rounder (and it sounds like there might be), that's great value when you consider what a pain in the *** the guy had become.
What's their salary cap situation? With their big stars aging, I wonder if they'll go fo a win now mentality in the free agent market or try to build through the draft.

With Harvin gone, I want to say they're about $14-$18 million under the salary cap. That's should be enough to re-sign Loadholt and Felton, and then possibly nab a free agent WR.

Trading Harvin clears about another $2.8 million under cap for#Vikings. Offset by another player to Top 51, they're about $17 million under
Overpay and cripple your team in other areas for the length of the contract? I've watched Al Davis do that too many times. Speaking as a Raider fan, I don't think you want to do this.
...... and draft another Troy Williamson......sigh. I hope you are correct and I am not.
Not too shabby. I'd feel better about their overall standing if I was sold on Ponder as the long term answer at QB. It doesn't matter what they do elsewhere if he doesn't develop into a legit starter.
Or since that was two GMs ago another Peterson, Harvin, Kalil, Harrison Smith, Loadholt, John Sullvan, Sidney Rice (kind of), or Chad Greenway.
Speaking of Al Davis- if he was still alive, this could've been a Herschel Walker trade FOR the Vikes.
Or Danell Ellerbe. Or Paul Kruger. Or Ed Reed. Or Cary Williams. That Flacco deal is astoundingly stupid.
Easiest way to develop a QB is put weapons around him and a solid line in front of him.
Thankfully he's not. And thankfully his son was smart enough to hire a GM. I'm glad the Raiders are no longer under the tyranny of Kim Jong Al.
