Percy Harvin traded to Seahawks

For a 1st rounder.

Minnesota Vikings to trade Percy Harvin to Seattle Seahawks -- sources - ESPN

So in other words, their offense is just AP and Rudolph now.

NFC West = stacked

arrowryan · Mar 11, 2013

That's a win-win for both teams

irishff1014 · Mar 11, 2013

Wow stupid move Vikings!!!

FLDomer · Mar 11, 2013

Will be interesting if the change of location helps the "headaches".

I would have to disagree. By all accounts I've seen there was zero indication Percy was going to re-sign with the vikings so why not get something for him than nothing. And a first round pick I think is pretty good.

Golden Tate is NOT HAPPY

Just saw a quote from him on ESPN

I wouldn't be happy if I was him either! The puddle ****ing over a notre dame player again.

I hope they release Tate.

Carol told Harvin he could be the next Reggie Bush.

irishpat183 · Mar 11, 2013

He's not worth a 1st rounder. Especially with his injury troubles.

Agreed! I think this is a great move for the Vikings, to get something for him and free up some $! Harvin was "injured" a lot and a cancer to the team IMO.

Yep. I think they definately got the better end of the deal

Buster Bluth · Mar 11, 2013

I would've liked to have seen Tate be paired with that first-round too.

Minnesota Vikings, all of the Notre Dame players!

Irish8248 · Mar 11, 2013

When asked about the trade, Seahawks receiver Golden Tate, whose spot on the Seahawks' depth chart will be altered with the addition of Harvin, told Josina Anderson that "it's a business."

"The Seahawks are trying to do whatever they think is necessary to put together a Super Bowl quality team. If this is one of the steps they think works to accomplish that, then that's their choice. I don't think it will impact any of our work habits. We are still going to grind and let the cards play out the way that they will," he said.

As a Vikings fan, I love the move. Things were getting ugly with contract talks and relationship repairing.

Got solid value for the best slot guy in the NFL a first and seventh this year and a conditional mid-rounder next year.

Seattle is going to be one of the most dangerous offenses in the NFL now.

I was thinking the same thing.

CTIDANDREW · Mar 11, 2013

Just incredibly unfortunate. The Vikings found an absolute gem with Percy. He was in the discussion for MVP mid way through the season. An contrary to popular belief, he didn't have a "serious injury" until this season. However, the writing was on the wall and hopefully they will sign either Jennings/Wallace and draft Tavon Austin to revamp the receiving core.

I don't know what when on behind closed doors. But it says a lot about a franchise when you cant keep your best players happy. If i'm Adrian Peterson im beyond pissed right now.

I agree. I really like Harvin, but this is a crazy move by Seattle. As a Pats fan, it always blows me away how little discipline some teams have. The Patriots aren't perfect from a personnel perspective, but we've come to expect a conservative approach that favors the long view and we've seen most of the other good organizations in the league adopt that approach. I think its a good move for the Vikings. They were improved last year but they aren't going to contend for a Super Bowl this year.

STLDomer · Mar 11, 2013

and now Anquan Boldin to the 49ers for a 6th Round Pick

I repeat NFC West = stacked

IrishLax · Mar 11, 2013

NFC West is in "win now" mode for sure. Unless you're one of the teams not on the Pacific Ocean.

This trade is a huge gamble for Seattle. They easily could've gotten a WR like Robert Woods (would Tavon Austin be around that long?) with that pick in the first who likely has less upside but doesn't miss half the season every year AND they wouldn't have had to give up two additional picks. But what if he stays healthy? If he stays healthy then Seattle's offense could be dominant next year.

The 49ers just grabbed Boldin for a 6th round pick. That's an awesome deal IMO.

Boldin, Crabtree, Davis, Manningham---not bad at all

irishpat183 · Mar 11, 2013

Not impressed with Boldin either. 32 year old that's been inconsistant his whole career and is obviously on the downside.

But a 6th rounder isn't bad to grab him.
