Percy Harvin ?

burningmetal · 02-11-2013, 06:46 AM

If we do go after a receiver next off-season ( I can't imagine them pursuing one this year) I really hope it isn't Harvin. Harvin is really a slot guy, but we use Sproles in the slot when he's not lined up in the backfield. That's just the football reason why I don't want him.

I mean honestly, when Harvin is going full steam, there really aren't many more explosive and versatile offensive weapons in the whole league, and that is as objective as I can be about this debate.

Every single team in the league should want to have him on their roster, and the so-called problems he reportedly invokes in the locker room are very much exaggerated by the media - surprisingly.

Great Talent...On the sidelines as much as he is on the field...nope

While the O looked decent last year it truly wouldn't hurt to tighten up the receiving corps, just need to look another direction

While we are at it we should go ahead and trade for Peyton Manning, Brady, and Rodgers too. I mean you can't have enough good QBs...

Anyone in the organization that spends even one moment this season on offensive skill players should be summarily dismissed.

I'd trade our second round pick for him in a heart beat.

He is a superb talent but not the right for for me.Id rather get a late draft pick to come in and be ready to challenge in the next year or two.Some interesting late rounders about that with a bit of work could be a steal.

With all of the holes and needs on defense, to me it just wouldn't make good business sense looking to trade a 2nd round for a WR... especially considering we were LAST in the league and giving up 400+ yards per game on defense.

Wait, we don't have a second rd pick in 2013.

Outside of Offensive Tackle, We need to spend the little money we have on Defense.

True, at 20 million over the cap (excluding Bushrod) we have absolutely zero room for luxuries.

Keeping or replacing Bushrod is going to place us around 28 million over the cap.

Oh, and we have to bump de la Puente's salary up several notches as well since he's a restricted free agent.

Lets just say we're at 30 million over. And Jimmy Graham's a free-agent next year.

Bye Bye Vilma, Smith, Harper, Ivory, Henderson, and likely several others shockers we don't see coming.
