WTF is this all about? We suck! He's a great talent, but he's not going to get this team to the playoffs! Why wait till now to make this move? Surely if the Seahawks where willing to trade him, we could have got him at the beginning of the year......
Percy Harvin is great when healthy, problem is, he's never healthy. Why trade for a durability concern in Harvin when our WR core has been plagued by injuries that past two seasons? We are 1-6, I don't understand the timing of it all. Really confusing. He wasn't a good fit for the Seahawks, a team that we compare to, they were willing to dump him midseason, that doesn't make anyone else nervous? I'm optimistic as they come, I'm not saying I'm unhappy with this move, but this certainly presents a lot of question marks with this move for me.
Base ------------------- Cap Hit 2015- 10,500,000------10,500,000- 2016 - 9,900,000------9,900,000- 2017- 9,950,000------9,950,000- 2018- 11,150,000------11,150,000- Health is key.
From this site it claims we gave him a huge deal. http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/new-york-jets/percy-harvin/
Harvin is also a pretty damn good kick returner, people will like Harvin in that department....when he's on the field. Don't know about him on punt returns, that might be Powell's job still. He's a dynamic player and a very nice fit and this guy will help Geno. Just a matter of attitude and injury proneness.
The fully guaranteed portion of his contract is over after 2014. If he doesn't stay healthy we cut him, and lose out on a a mid-round draft pick -------------------------------- I could really see this working out like Ivory did for us.
This creates the excuse: "Rex, what do you mean I gave you no talent? You had Percy Harvin and still couldn't make the playoffs! You're fired" Well played, Idzik.
