After insisting that Percy Harvin is not for sale,

the Minnesota Vikings are shifting course.

 

Fox Sports insider and NFL Network contributor

Jay Glazer reports the Vikings have agreed to a

trade that will send Harvin to the Seattle

Seahawks for draft picks, pending the wide

receiver passes a physical.

 

It's a stunning move that will strengthen an

already powerful Seahawks roster with one of

the game's premier playmakers, simultaneously

ending Harvin's often rocky four-year tenure in

Minnesota.

 

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported the Vikings

spoke with multiple teams about dealingHarvin,

according to a source with knowledge of the

process. ESPN was first to chime in on the trade

talks.

 

If the deal goes through, the Seahawks will be

tasked with locking Harvin up to a long-term

deal, according to Rapoport. Harvin was asking

for no less than $10 million per year in an

extension with the Vikings.

 

It was reported over the weekend that Harvin

was demanding a trade for the second time in

less than a year. Vikings general manager Rick

Spielman has said all offseason that wouldn't

become a reality, but here we are.

Wonder if this makes Minnesota a player for Cruz

Well hopefully we'll get someone who can actually play a full season. I really like Harvin, but he misses too much game time. (and he's a whiner).

 

Wish he would have gone to the AFC.

I'm wondering if the Patriots are interested in Cruz...given Welker doesn't appear to be heading back that way.

If Harvin puts together a healthy season, and if Russell Wilson doesn't have a sophomore slump, that team is going to be so, so tough to stop.
