The Seahawks, who have thrown among the fewest deep passes in the NFL, had not been using Harvin as a deep threat, and Harvin had been struggling to get anything going this season. But he's still by far their most talented receiver. He had just 133 yards on 22 catches this season, but an expanded role was promised by the Seahawks this week. Before the end of the week, he was gone to the Jets

Last year the Seahawks traded for Harvin, sending 2013 first- and seventh-round picks and a 2014 third-round pick to Minnesota, and gave him a six-year deal worth a little more than $64 million. Harvin barely played last season because of injuries, but was instrumental in the Seahawks' Super Bowl victory. Harvin won't be playing in another Super Bowl this year. We'll see if the Seahawks have enough weapons remaining in the passing game to get back there themselves.

This season, Harvin has 22 receptions for 133 yards, with 12 of those catches coming behind the line of scrimmage. He has only one catch on a ball thrown more than 10 yards, according to STATS. Harvin's average of 6 yards per catch is last among all wide receivers in the NFL averaging at least two receptions per game.

He also has 11 runs for 92 yards and a touchdown, and 12 kickoff returns for 283 yards.

I thought so about Harvin giving up vs cowboys glad he's gone the POS hurting your team by forcing Russel to get the ball to you and you play like a rookie out of college.

NOw russel will do as he did most of last year without Harvin win and cover spreads.
This champ can repeat 49ers and seahwks battel it out for top spot cards will fall apart final 4 games due to jinx of hosting the bowl.

Huge edge for any div. Team in the bowl they play at Cards stadium every year.

BUT who will be afc foe ??? Colts Patriots Cheifs Chargers thats all i see making it.

OTHER NFC due to schedule traps i see not making it none in NFC south NFC East depends on who wins div between Boys n birds birds are in worse spot final two games away Cowboys only final away @ Skins

but me think skins dump it to stay losing record for drat picks so cowboys can win div stay home throught playoffs and all other NFC hopefulls have to go through Dallas Packers - Seahwks ... 49ers or maybe 49ers get Cowboys @ San fran. Dallas beat Seattle so they have edge thier they would stay home vs Seahwks if that would be finals

The financial side of the Percy Harvin trade

APAfter completely processing the shock of the Second Annual Percy Harvin Trade and while still sniffing around the reasons for it, let?s take a look at the financial ramifications of the move, for both teams.

Based on a breakdown of the contract obtained by PFT, the Seahawks paid Harvin $19.03 million for what amounted to eight games played (three last year, five this year). The money came from a $12 million signing bonus, a $2.5 million salary in 2013, and 7/17ths of an $11 million salary in 2014 ($4.53 million).

By trading Harvin after June 1, the Seahawks will carry $1.412 million in cap space this year from his $2.4 million annual signing bonus proration. Next year, they?ll have $7.2 million in dead money attributed to Harvin.:scared

The Jets pick up the balance of his guaranteed base salary ? 10/17ths of $11 million ($6.47 million) and the non-guaranteed four additional years of his deal, at $10.5 million in 2015, $9.9 million in 2016, $9.95 million in 2017, and $11.15 million in 2018. The $47.97 million deal actually is a year-to-year arrangement, with no triggers or other devices aimed at forcing the Jets to decide what to do with Harvin before Week One of the regular season.

The Jets inherit the ability to recover bonus money paid by the Seahawks from Harvin. If he decides to not show up or to go AWOL or to retire with that $19 million he had gotten from the Seahawks for nine games, they can get back some of the $12 million the Seahawks paid upon acquiring him from the Vikings. Which could be a useful piece of leverage for the Jets.

Still, the early reaction from multiple league insiders is that the Jets made a mistake by acquiring Harvin. One league source with knowledge of and experience with both the player and his new team already has expressed pessimism, explaining that the Jets are ?not a stable place.? Another source said that the Jets have ?pissed away $7 million of Woody Johnson?s cash and cap space.?
?Do you know how many good players that much space can get you?? the source said. (As some Jets fans would respond, ?If you don?t use it, none.?)

We?ll have more throughout the weekend regarding the reaction to and aftermath of the trade. Whatever triggered the move, it was enough to prompt the Seahawks to pay Harvin what amounted to $2.375 million for every meaningful game in which he played.
