Percy will do great things. Especially with a QB who's worth a damn, and not hailing from FSuckU... With Percy, Wilson and Carroll can run their type of spread to perfection.

Percy still has to agree to an extension. Otherwise, this is just a one yr deal correct ?

Nah, they're just going to try to outscore them apparently. This just popped up.

there's a writer who wrote something i will paraphrase, but i can't help to accept the logic.
percy must be one giant pain in the *** for this trade to be made. the vikings, under new ownership, are not shy with money. they need more playmakers, not less. they got rid of one of the premier playmakers in the nfl for a 1st round pick.
this makes no sense unless percy's baggage is considerable

NFL network has an interview with this mentioned. They said Percy was a pain in the ass in the locker room and to the coaches.

According to two sources, the straw that broke the Vikings' back with Harvin is when he bemoaned the fact that quarterback Christian Ponder, a 2011 first-round pick, was not good enough. That came even though Ponder consistently fed Harvin the ball.
Last season, Harvin had team highs of 62 catches for 677 yards, and added three touchdowns before suffering a season-ending injury in the Vikings' ninth game.
Now, Harvin goes to Seattle, which has wunderkind quarterback Russell Wilson. Wilson not only pushed Robert Griffin III for Rookie of the Year this season but also happens to have a lot in common with Harvin. Both are 24 and grew up in the eastern part of Virginia: Harvin from Virginia Beach and Wilson from Richmond.
In other words, they have known of each other for a long time and there's enough respect between the two that Harvin likely won't create more trouble. Wilson is probably one of the few people who can keep Harvin in line.
Maybe.
In trading for Harvin, Seattle is taking on a guy who is loaded with issues. Harvin was difficult to deal with in college, reportedly failed a drug test at the NFL scouting combine in 2009 and threatened to walk out on the Vikings last offseason in displeasure over his contract.
Then there are the reports that he got into a minor altercation with Vikings coach Leslie Frazier last season when Minnesota put him on injured reserve in December. Frazier is one of the classiest, nicest men in football, just about the last coach you could imagine getting into a fight with a player.
Throw on top of that his complaints about Ponder and you have a guy who is as much misanthrope as mismatch. Harvin is a great player once you get to Sunday. It's the rest of the week that he is hard to manage.

Now I just have to figure out how to get past the gatekeeper and go to a Seahawk game...

Maybe but here's the tweet Adrian Peterson sent after he learned of the trade:
"The best all around player I ever seen or you'll ever see! Goes to Seattle! I feel like I just got kicked in the stomach. Several times!!!," he wrote. "I wish my boy Percy nothing but success! God bless you homie."

As for being a pain to the coaches, there are a lot more coaches out there than there are Percy Harvins.

Percy could take it to the house every other play and was by far the most exciting player I have ever seen.
He is also a selfish locker room cancer at the end of the day.

I guess the risks didn't equal the rewards for the Vikings. Sounds as if he was like the hot gf that drives you crazy. Eventually you've had enough, and have to let her go despite her looks.

Wonder why we don't hear about the "locker room cancer" from his teammate.

So if we don't believe that he's a headache, why would they trade him unless they don't want to pay the freight? Is there another reason?

Percy has been wanting to be traded for a couple of years now. He is a good fit for Seattle. They will make some noise next season.
