The deal is not complete yet. Harvin and the Seahawks have to be able to work out a contract agreement in the next 48 hours for it to become official. Knowing Harvin and his agent, that certainly is not just a given.
In return, the Vikes are most likely going to get Seattle's first round draft pick PLUS more, but even that isn't being officially reported as of yet.
Interestingly, that wasn't the biggest receiver trade yesterday. Another discontented superstar, Anquan Boldin of the Super Bowl Champion Baltimore Ravens is now heading to the San Francisco Forty-Niners. I tend to think if that trade had happened before the Super Bowl, that outcome would have been reversed.
I'm bummed that Harvin is no longer with Vikes. He's like the biggest secret weapon in the league. Maybe with The Seahawks people will see how good he really is. I've always thought the Vikes could have used him so much better and smarter. Maybe that's one of the reasons he was so discontent all of the time.
The Vikes have made a lot of smart picks in the draft the last couple of seasons so MAYBE the pick or picks we get for him will make a difference, though I'm still wondering who our top two receivers are going to be this coming year and still hoping that we figure out how to use Joe Webb, at least for kickoffs.
