Percy Harvin said he'll play "a little bit" of running back this season.
During four seasons with the Vikings, Harvin averaged 1.9 carries per game. If that number rises in Seattle, it won't be by much. Although Harvin is more than capable of running the read option with Russell Wilson, the Seahawks need him in the slot. They're stacked at running back with Marshawn Lynch, Robert Turbin and rookie Christine Michael. May 23 - 8:43 AM

Percy Harvin - WR - Seahawks

Percy Harvin said Tuesday that he hasn't had a migraine headache in two years.

Harvin is often criticized for an inability to stay healthy, but before his 2012 ankle injury he had missed just three games in three NFL seasons. Since getting diagnosed with sleep apnea in 2010, he's been able to avoid the severe headaches that had plagued him all the way back to his University of Florida days. "Been fully healthy from that aspect so everything's been good," Harvin said. "I'm going to knock on wood that nothing resurfaces but it's been all great."

Percy Harvin - WR - Seahawks

Profootballtalk.com reports Percy Harvin's new Seahawks deal is worth $67 million over six seasons, with only $14.5 million fully guaranteed.

Another $11 million is guaranteed for injury, but this is a smaller deal than Harvin was probably expecting. It's actually worth just slightly less than Dwayne Bowe's in annual average, making Harvin -- for now -- the NFL's fifth highest paid receiver behind Calvin Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald, Mike Wallace, and Bowe. And the low guaranteed total protects the Seahawks. Seattle gave up a draft-pick haul for Harvin, but this looks like a great deal for the club.

Percy Harvin - WR - Seahawks

Profootballtalk.com reports that a new contract for Percy Harvin is already in place with the Seahawks.

CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora previously suggested Harvin could command $12 million annually, which would make him the league's third-highest paid receiver behind Calvin Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald. PFT's Mike Florio confirms Harvin's deal "won't be close" to Megatron and Fitz. The bottom line is Harvin isn't a one-year rental in Seattle. They're locking up the 24-year-old long term.

Percy Harvin - WR - Seahawks

The 2014 "mid-round pick" the Vikings are acquiring as part of the Percy Harvin trade is expected to be a third-rounder.

It means the Vikings are coming away with a first-, second- and third-day pick in exchange for their No. 1 receiver. It's still not equal value for a player of Harvin's caliber, but far exceeds what the Dolphins received for Brandon Marshall. It also betters the package Randy Moss fetched in 2005. It's a small price to pay for an elite receiver still two months shy of his 25th birthday.

Updating previous items, the Vikings have acquired the 25th overall pick, a 2013 seventh-rounder, and a middle-round pick in 2014 in the Percy Harvin trade.

Jeff Ireland wishes he could trade as well as Rick Spielman; the Dolphins traded Brandon Marshall last offseason for two third-rounders, one of which Ireland blew on obvious TE bust Michael Egnew. The Vikings now have four picks in the top 83 this year: Nos. 23, 25, 52, and 83. It's also conceivable that Spielman has already struck an under-the-table deal with a free agent like Greg Jennings.

Percy Harvin - WR - Seahawks

ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms Seattle's trade for Percy Harvin will net the Vikings the Seahawks' first-round pick in the 2013 draft.

It's the 25th pick, and there may be more compensation. The trade is also pending a physical, but FOX Sports' Jay Glazer, ESPN's John Clayton, ESPN 1500 Twin Cities' Tom Pelissero, and Schefter have all confirmed it's a done deal. Per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the Seahawks will indeed be signing Harvin to a new, long-term contract. Schefter reports the new deal will be consummated within 24 hours. Harvin has been said to be seeking Calvin Johnson money. We suspect he's more likely to receive in the range of $12 million annually.

Percy Harvin - WR - Seahawks

Seahawks acquired WR Percy Harvin from the Vikings in exchange for a 2013 first-round pick, 2013 seventh-rounder, and a middle-round pick in 2014.

The Vikings now have four picks in the top 83 this year, but so much for Rick Spielman's Harvin-trade denials. The Seahawks will open the season with 24-year-old Russell Wilson throwing to 27-year-old Sidney Rice, and 25-year-old Harvin and Golden Tate, with 27-year-old Marshawn Lynch in the backfield. Already one of the league's premier defensive teams, Seattle's offense now rivals any in football in terms of explosiveness and playmaking ability. We expect Harvin to lead Seattle in receiving, and his fantasy value should remain among the top-15 wide receivers. While the fantasy effect on Rice and Tate is unlikely to be positive, it's a gigantic plus for Wilson's.

Percy Harvin - WR - Seahawks

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Vikings are "trying to trade" Percy Harvin, and are "in discussions" with the Seahawks, "amongst other teams."

Schefter doesn't name other teams, but says the Seahawks are "favored." ESPN 1500 Twin Cities seconds the report, and "leans toward it happening." It's bombshell news that confirms months of rumors and innuendo. Among the most aggressive and unconventional teams in the league, we wouldn't be surprised if the Seahawks have already offered a strong package for the gifted receiver. Harvin with Russell Wilson would be an impossibly dangerous duo. Unless Harvin has become one of the biggest headaches in league history behind the scenes, there's not a single scenario where trading him would be a net gain for the Vikes.

Citing "some good sources around the NFL," the Minneapolis Star-Tribune's Sid Hartman reports Percy Harvin has informed the Vikings that he does not want to play for them anymore and "wants to be traded."

Hartman is a columnist with a spotty track record, so keep that in mind. After explaining that Harvin doesn't get along with the coaching and medical staffs, Hartman acknowledges GM Rick Spielman "is in the driver's seat." Harvin is signed for 2013 and the Vikings could keep him with consecutive franchise tags the following two seasons. Additionally, Hartman reports Harvin won't be in attendance when Vikings offseason workouts begin on April 22.

Percy Harvin - WR - Seahawks

According to Yahoo Sports' Jason Cole, Percy Harvin is targeting a deal in the range of Calvin Johnson's as opposed to Dwayne Bowe or Vincent Jackson.

Harvin considers himself a "special" player and reportedly wants $16.5 annually, which would put him right behind Megatron ($18.8M average) and ahead of Larry Fitzgerald ($16.06M). Bowe and Jackson, the NFL's third and fourth highest-paid wideouts, collect $11.2M and $11.1M per year, respectively. Per Cole, Harvin "threatened to walk out on the team" last offseason after hearing the Patriots gave Aaron Hernandez a contract extension after only two NFL seasons. "[The Vikings are] in a tough spot," one source told Cole. "If you don't take some aggressive action, this could get really bad." Harvin seems 50:50 to be a Viking in 2013.

Vikings coach Leslie Frazier said at the NFL Combine that he "made it clear" he wants Percy Harvin back when the two last spoke.

Multiple reports have suggested Harvin is planning to hold out, but GM Rick Spielman has repeatedly stated he has "no intent" to trade him. Regardless of the Vikings' claims, Harvin's future with the team remains in question. "I made it clear that I want him here, and I'm hoping things will work out," Frazier said. "We've had conversations. They've been positive."

Vikings coach Leslie Frazier doesn't expect Percy Harvin to hold out, and believes they have a "good relationship."

Frazier also said Harvin is "healthy" and "doing well." The Vikings are putting a brave face on the Harvin situation at the Combine, insisting they have no plans to trade him and that everything is hunky dory. Various reports have suggested Harvin is planning to hold out and seeking the moon in a new deal, while he reportedly unleashed an "embarrassing" in-season tirade on Frazier. Those are all reasons Harvin may eventually be traded, but no move appears imminent.

Percy Harvin - WR - Seahawks

Vikings GM Rick Spielman reiterated Thursday that he has "no intent" to trade Percy Harvin.

This has been Spielman's stance throughout the Harvin drama. The Vikings can't afford to lose their only offensive weapon outside of Adrian Peterson, especially if they won't even land a first-round pick for him. Spielman added that no GMs have even inquired about Harvin since he landed in Indy for the Combine. The situation will heat up once Harvin skips the offseason program, but it's hard to see the Vikings caving to pressure. As usual, the organization holds all the cards here.

ESPN's Adam Schefter "doesn't see" the Vikings trading Percy Harvin.

Schefter is just passing along his gut feeling in a mailbag column, but his gut feeling is surely informed by league chatter. Schefter believes the Vikings would be "out of their minds" to trade Harvin for less than "premium value." Most reports have suggested premium value is something the Vikings will have trouble getting for a player who wants to break the bank with his next contract.
