flgreen Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Percy Harvin won’t take pay cut to stay with Jets Posted by Mike Florio on December 14, 2014, 8:13 AM EST Harvin Receiver Percy Harvin has caused no problems for the Jets since arriving in October. Coming soon, Percy will be causing a potential dilemma for the franchise. According to Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News, Harvin won’t take a pay cut to stay with the Jets in 2015, when his contract requires a base salary of $10.5 million. While Harvin likely wouldn’t get that much on the open market (and given that the Jets may offer him more on a reduced deal that anyone else would pay him), playing for another team likely would mean enjoying a better quarterback situation. Keeping Harvin would have a cost to the Jets beyond the eight-figure salary. If he’s on the roster at the start of the league year, the sixth-round pick the Jets will be sending to the Seahawks for Harvin becomes a fourth-round selection. That term works to Harvin’s benefit as much as it does to Seattle’s, since it forces the Jets to make a decision sooner rather than later. If the Jets choose to move on, a third trade of Harvin since 2013 becomes possible, but not likely. Perhaps the Jets could be willing to take peanuts for Percy if that means not having to cut him — and in turn to watch him walk to New England and power up the Patriots’ offense in a way that franchise hasn’t seen since Randy Moss was dumped back onto the Vikings for a disastrous three-week reunion in 2010. If Harvin finds a home with the Patriots, if he performs to his potential, and if he causes no problems, it would be disastrous for the Jets. And possibly for every other NFL franchise.

patman Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 The pats can't afford him. And he is not going to go to the pats for 5mill a year, he already has a ring and was not happy in seattle being the 3rd guy. And he is totally useless in the backfield in blitz pickup.

After a complete house cleaning, the new regime can try to negotiate with him again. The article is right, it's very possible the Jets would pay more for him than he'd get in free agency. And they can always release him and keep in touch, too. Pull what the Saints and John Abraham pulled with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slats Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Alternately, the Jets could just pay him his salary and keep him next year. After a year and a half with the Jets, his market value will be way down in 2016. They renegotiate with him then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they can always release him and keep in touch, too. Pull what the Saints and John Abraham pulled with them. The Abraham move is an excellent point. If the Jets decide to over pay him, it would be in his best interest to stay with them. They used him in a way that no other team has used him, and he was fairly productive. he seems to be at least content here (hasn't punched anyone yet) Problem is this CS is gone. suspect a new GM, and HC won't want to deal with the headaches Harvin potentially will bring. Still a good point if he wants to be a good team player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 hey cap space can't play, right ? lol he will be shocked at his level of demand after this season. he will have to take a cut. He won't be back here, but wherever he goes it will be for a cut. the league just got a massive injection of WR talent, he is run of the mill now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0mShane Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Or, there was an absolute zero market for Harvin a month ago, the Jets hold his rights, and they can put a gun to his agent's head with this information and get the deal they want. Not that this is how the NFL works, really. What usually happens is that the player's agent tells Manish Mehta that said player is only going to play for $10 mil per year and the fans believe it.

jetrider Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Why take a pay cut for this depressing joke of a team? Harvin wasn't a waste, he was wasted by a Jets staff that failed to coach up the rest of the team. His talent and experience makes him a good value for a playoff caliber team.

David Harris Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 There's 30 other teams besides the Pats and the Jets, it's silly that they somehow get brought into this bread and butter article... Anyway, it makes sense for the Jets and Percy to renegotiate, give him some more guaranteed money and lower his annual salary. He's a good weapon but prob not worth 10mil/year, bump him down to 8 mill/year and guarantee 12 mill over the firs 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shuler82 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 So now we are taking articles by Florio with his source of Mehta as gospel? Even if true, the jets have plenty of room to keep him at his current salary and still have the space to upgrade the team. Not an issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Bringing in Harvin wasn't stupid in my book. Idzik just spent a bunch of Woody's money on a flyer to see if he could inject anything of substance into an offense that featured roadkill at the QB position. Not going to hurt us if he goes and can only hurt us going forward if they give him more than he's worth to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
