While the Minnesota Vikings have made it clear that they have “no intent” on trading wide receiver Percy Harvin, according to a source he definitely wants out. Read more after the jump.
According to the Star Tribune:
The latest word from some good sources around the NFL is that Harvin, who missed the final seven regular-season games as well as the playoff game because of a serious ankle injury, has told the Vikings that he doesn’t want to play for them and wants to be traded.
Harvin’s relationship with the Vikings has been under a ton of scrutiny so far as to some people even questioning the validity of his injury. There’s been rumors that he doesn’t like the coaches plans for him and that he doesn’t get along with the medical staff. If the rumors are true unfortunately for Harvin he is tied to the Vikings as he’s still under a five-year contract signed in 2009 when he was drafted 22nd overall.
The Vikings can retain his services by making him a franchise player next season and the following season. They are currently $16 million under the salary cap and can offer Harvin more money if that’s what he desires. Harvin, who despite missing those final seven games still led the team with 62 receptions and 677 receiving yards while scoring five touchdowns.
