not a shocker that he was traded

[FightLikeSin]

I heard there is a 1st round pick involved. cue *buzzer noise* Disaster averted. Rest easy Colts fans. *resist "headache" jokes*

[CR91]

that was dumb. now what are the vikings gonna do at wr. their two first round picks will be in the twenties

[BOTT]

He could be lethal with Russell Wilson

[Coltswarriors]

Good move by the Seahawks IMO. Great player and definitely worth a 1st round pick (which is what Adam Schefter is saying Minnesota is getting)

[Gavin]

Considering it was a late 1st and they dont really have alot of needs except maybe wr it was a very good move

[Balzer40]

Harvin is more headache than help. (no pun intended)

[CardiacColts]

Let's be honest, Harvin is absolutely worth a 1st. He is an immediate impact starter and was in the MVP discussion until injuries tanked him. I personally would have been horrified to see the Colts make that move, given our needs; however, for the Seahawks this was a no brainer. He could help put them over the top.

Ummmm.....    

 

First....   Percy Harvin was taken in the 20's....    

 

Second....     Mike Wallace, who's about to sign a contract for $10+ Million dollars was taken in the 3rd round.     Lots of very good receivers in the NFL were taken after the 1st round.

 

Third....   if they kept Harvin,  he likely would pollute the Vikings locker-room, and then not re-sign with Minnesota after his contract is up,   so the Vikins get a #1 for him.

 

Fourth....    Minnesota still has Free Agency and the draft to replace Harvin.   They'll find someone.

 

I don't think this was dumb at all...   but, maybe that's just me...

[lollygagger8]

This year Seattle is going to be serious SB contenders even more so than last year.

 

I'm scared.

[Andy]

Good move!

 

Unfortunately, I don't think the Vikings got a lot. I heard they got picks only and it's a couple of high-mid ones.

i didnt mean they couldnt find another wr i meant what they got out of the trade was dumb.

[Andy]

Actually, I take back what I said.

 

Schefter says that the deal likely includes the 25th overall pick, which is a solid gain for the Viks.

[Coltswarriors]

Jay Glazer on twitter:

 

Seattle sends this years first round pick and a 7th rounder as well as a mid-round pick next year for Harvin. Win-win for both teams

[Dustin]

IMO This might mean that Greg Jennings ends up in Minnessota.

[AntonMcG]

An already versatile and dangerous offense has just become significantly more versatile and dangerous.

 

On paper, that is now the best team in football in my eyes.

[oldunclemark]

The question is: Will Harvin still be on the field in December

[coltsfanatic24]

Great trade for the Vikings now they can draft Tavon Austin and sign Greg Jennings. Bad trade for Seattle Harvin is a great player but he's injury prone and a locker room cancer.

He's not injury prone.

Wouldn't count out Justin Hunter for the Vikings....you can't teach that kind of size and speed

[oldunclemark]

He's not injury prone.

Yes he is.

Missed 2 game sin 2010,...7 more in 2012..

...Knees get better..headaches re-occur..

Glad he's not in Indy

[iM COLTSSTRONG]

Seahawks are gonna have cap problems soon. the "legion of boom" are all FA next year or year after....the Wilson...and there pro bowl OL....lol. Harvin will only add problems

[Dustin]

Yes he is.

He's not injury prone. He's missed 3 games in his career before this season when he tore a ligament in his ankle. Bob Sanders is injury prone, Mike Vick is injury prone. A guy who missed 3 games before a freak accident injury isn't injury prone.

 

That's like saying Adrian Peterson is injury prone.

[amfootball]

Seems like a lot to give up for a guy that has missed games the last two seasons.

He hurt his ankle this season. He didn't miss any games last season and has only missed 3 games prior to this year.

Didn't he get migraines with Favre?

[Dustin]

He hasn't had migrane issues in over 2 years.

[pacolts56]

My first thought is it's pretty hilarious thinking about Percy Harvin and Richard Sherman on the same NFL team. You'll have Russell Wilson and Marshawn Lynch and that offense, now with Harvin...along with Pete Carroll's antics and a really nasty rivalry with the tough 49ers developing.

 

In two years the NFC West has gone from being more boring than a North Korean cabinet meeting to NFL drama central.

 

Even the Rams and the Cards have probably hit rock bottom and could be on the upswing.

 

And we get to play them all next season.   

[amfootball]

He hasn't had migrane issues in over 2 years.

 How old is he?

[Dustin]

How old is he?

Only 24.

[pacolts56]

 How old is he?

24...going on 12.

[amfootball]

Wow. Didn't realize he was that young. Good move for hawks right now given a #1 this year is not too bad.

[SilentHill]

Seahawks win.

[Tark The Shark]

Seahawks are looking even more dangerous by the day. Pete is doing a good job up in Seattle.

[MTC]

WOW that's surprising. Both sides won the trade. Seahawks got another weapon for Wilson and Vikings got great picks for him.

[iM COLTSSTRONG]

hes a head case...he divides the locker room

[IndyTrav]

Great trade for a the Vikings.

Brandon Marshall, who I feel is twice the WR Harvin is, went for 2 3rds...(Twice lol)

And Harvin commanded a 1st, a mid, and a late? Crazy good deal for Minny.

I think Harvin is better than Tate, but it seems to me they already have this type of player in Tate.

U think he is better than Tate?? Really no comparison

[IndyTrav]

U think he is better than Tate?? Really no comparison

Ya.

All I am saying is that the difference between the two players isnt worth a 1st a 3rd and a 6th IMO
