A SB ring now he has a QB and an offense? Or are you mad at him cause he didnt like Ponder? What if Ponder stinks the place up this year and is gone next year? Will you think the same thing?

I'll ask the question again, "Did Harvin train with Ponder in the offseason?" Because he already has plans to train with Wilson this off season.

Harvin won't get 70 catches and a 1,000 yards in Seattle. IF he does it will be because Rice is hurt again. By the middle of the 2nd year of his contract I expect him to be complaining again.

Don't get me wrong, I wanted him on the team. But, if he is going to be a PITA, then he can leave. One Superstar WR will not win you the Super Bowl. It takes a team, a team on the same page. Harvin apparently was not only, not on the same page, he was in a different book.

Harvin got 6 yrs, $67M ($11.16M/yr) with $14.5M fully guaranteed, plus $11M guar for injury. Earning $36M in the first 3 years.

Yet lower than what many were expecting given his alleged requests/demands. Still, it's a haul. Seattle loves tossing money at Vikings receivers.

That just means Sidney is likely to get cut next year around this time if he doesn't start producing like Seattle hoped. Pete don't mess around.

not that it makes a difference and i have touched on it earlier but PH has played all 16 games in a season just the year before last. first year he played 15, played 14 in 2010, 16 in 2011, and 9 games last year.

but yes....that is a LOT of money.

Actually, I'm glad you posted that, because I also had the perception that Harvin hadn't played a full season either. After reading your post, I stopped being lazy and looked it up. You are correct (and Thanks)

oh sure. i think because of the migraine issues and missing practice time many people had this perception that he was injury prone or something. but before last season he'd only missed 3 games in three seasons which is pretty amazing considering all we asked him to do.

i think he'll do well in seattle.

Finally seeing Percy Harvin's full contract details. It's really a 5-year, $64.5M extension with $25.5M fully guaranteed. He got his wish.
And #Seahawks have some flexibility if it doesn't work out. The $25.5M gt'd all in the first 2 years. After that, it's pay as you go.
Appears Harvin's gt'd base salary for 2014 kicks in after Super Bowl, but that's a formality. Else they gave up 3 picks, $14.5M for 1 year.

Wow, that's a bundle.

I wonder if they plan to use him as a returner as well as a receiver.
