    • Seahawks didn’t speak to Patriots about Harvin trade AP

      Nearly four days removed from the trade that sent receiver Percy Harvin from
      Seattle to the Jets, a number of perplexing troubles remain.

      For instance, if the Seahawks had turn into sufficiently fed up with Harvin
      that they would have cut him if they couldnt have traded him 12th Fan Jersey, why didnt
      they try to maximize their otherwise minimal return on the investment? The easy
      reply is that they needed to steer Harvin to a non-contender, a group that the
      Seahawks would be unlikely to face down the road, specifically in the
      postseason. And with the Jets at one-6, theres small threat that the Seahawks
      would encounter Harvin on February one in Arizona. (Particularly given that
      Seattle will now have a hard time getting there.)

      But the Seahawks reportedly called the Broncos about a deal that would have
      sent Harvin to Denver for tight end Julius Thomas. So contending teams werent
      out of the query Earl
      Thomas Jersey.

      As AFC contenders go, the Patriots would have been the most intriguing
      choice. Provided Bill Belichicks friendship with former Florida coach Urban
      Meyer, Belichicks historical past of taking possibilities on receivers like Chad
      Ochocinco and Randy Moss, and the teams clear require for playmakers on offense,
      the Patriots could have been drawn into a bidding war with the Jets for the
      variety of versatile weapon Belichick would adore to have. Which could have
      gotten the Jets more than a sixth-round choose that only gets a fourth-round
      choose if Harvin remains on the Jets roster in 2015.

      Per a source with understanding of the situation, the Seahawks didnt talk to
      the Patriots about a attainable Harvin trade. Its not recognized what the
      Patriots would have said, or whether or not they at a minimal would have feigned
      interest to get the Jets to give up much more. Irrespective, it seems like the
      Seahawks have been so intent to get rid of Harvin prior to the possibility of
      trading him leaked that they ended up doing a deal that wasnt as very good as it
      perhaps could have been ssfanstore.com/Earl_Thomas_Jersey.

      Thats not a knock on the Seahawks. It just demonstrates that, after they
      knew they had been moving on, they moved quickly and decisively, possibly to
      keep away from the distractions that would come from a week of two of rumors and
      reviews with regards to the likelihood that Harvin would be traded ssfanstore.com/Marshawn_Lynch_Jersey.
      It also shows that, for what ever explanation, they determined not to do
      organization with the Patriots.

      Perhaps the best explanation is that coach Pete Carroll, the final coach
      fired by owner Bob Kraft prior to Bill Belichick was hired, didnt want to do
      anything at all to support the Patriots get greater.
