What date would we be required to pick-up or reject Harvin option? There must be some date that the Jets and 'Hawks determined as a cut-off date. This way Seattle can know whether they get a 4th or a 6th come draft time.

 

I'm hoping we don't pick-up his option. we need ALL the picks we have/can get :mad0222:

Need to cut him before March 19th otherwise we lose the 4th round pick.

 

 

Edited for correct date.

Well that gives us a couple of days to see if we can sign Maclin, Cobb or Thomas. If so bye-bye Harvin...welcome back 4th rd. pick.

Looks like I was wrong,  Its 10 days after the league year starts.  So March 19th is the deadline to cut him.  Correcting my original post.

Better yet. Jets will get to see where the bigger FA WR's are priced at. Bring in Maclin/Cobb/Thomas for talks and dinner... let the media in on the discussions and with the other hand see what Harvin would be willing drop down to. It's called hedging your bets.

 

Whoever is the better value compared to what they bring to the team, sign the beast.... whoever it is.
