jgb Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Is there any doubt that Harvin will be a monster in NE? Imagine Wes Welker + 200% the athleticism. He will kill with an accurate passer. Percy Harvin to the New England Patriots? Why not? By Conor Orr Around The NFL Writer Published: Feb. 25, 2015 at 07:39 a.m. Updated: Feb. 25, 2015 at 03:28 p.m. The budding consensus among those with a line into Percy Harvin suggests that he might stay in the AFC East, or at least pay a visit to the New York Jets' biggest rival if a reworked contract cannot be figured out. On Tuesday, The Boston Globe's Chris Gasper added to the mix by saying that New England has "always liked" Harvin, and that the Pats traded out of the No. 23 pick in the 2009 draft because Harvin was nabbed by the Vikings at No. 22. From where we're sitting, the answer is pretty obvious: Why not? New England has absolutely nothing to lose from here after clinching their fourth Super Bowl title since 2001. Even if, in four years, Tom Brady and Bill Belichick retire together having not made another playoff appearance, their legacies have been cemented. This is why adding a dynamic player like Harvin should seem like a no-brainer. He can add firepower to an offense that already out-dueled the best defense in football. He can take some pressure off Brady and put limitless possibilities on the table for offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. It's easy to say that because Harvin has a questionable reputation, New England would be the perfect fit. We have no way of knowing whether that is true. But it is pretty easy to say that Belichick would not be criticized heavily for swinging and missing on a move like this based on his track record. And if you have the chance to add a dynamic 26-year-old wideout heading into the prime of his career, why not do it?

AFJF Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 As much as people put Harvin down, he had a lot of opportunities to make big plays last season if Geno didn't overthrow him. I know I've repeated it several times but he would've had a 30 yd TD vs Miami and smoke Revis deep against New England...both times Geno lofted a pass out of bounds.

Beerfish Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Ah the old gnashing of teeth about a jet player going to the pats. He'll go there if they see fit to pay him what he wishes. If so, more power to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drsamuel84 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 While I think there's a lot of legitimacy to this story, his agent is obviously doing his job and trying to scare the Jets a little into making a decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting Harvin for Geno was like getting a 16 year old kid a Ferrari for his birthday. Ah the old gnashing of teeth about a jet player going to the pats. He'll go there if they see fit to pay him what he wishes. If so, more power to him. No gnashing of teeth here. Just saying with an accurate passer who can get him ball in space I believe Harvin will kill it. We don't have that here so he would probably be a waste. Sad.

Integrity28 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Agents around the NFL know that the way to create pressure for the Jets to pay up, is to float rumors that the player will go directly to NE and torture the Jets for years to come.

patman Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 The pats liked him in the draft, but to say they like him now over the more pressing needs is a stretch. Harvin will get about 7-8 on the market, The pats can afford about 3 mill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadFan Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I hope he goes there. Maybe he will cold cock Brady or Belicheat. Or throw a free weight at one of them. He has done both. Harvin is pure scum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetBlue Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Harvin is going nowhere if the Jets want him. Harvin in Chan Gaileys offense might be something worth seeing. We are 50 million under the cap; can draft Fowler or Dupree and can still take a receiver in the 2nd or 3rd round. He is likely to be better than any 4th round pick. Maybe we can even trade down, get a few picks to make up for it. I know some are against it but I think we should retain Harvin and sign Spiller. That will give us two young veteran playmakers who can score from almost anywhere on the field. Decker and Kerley along with Amaro will move the chains. Imagine we add a Devin Smith, Breshard Perriman, or Sammie Coates to that mix. Just a thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 How could we stupidly let our beloved Shaun Ellis go to the Pats? Belichick knows better! If we don't draft Gholston then Belichick will scoop him up and he'll terrorize our QBs for 10 years! Chris Baker will have a monster season now that Brady is throwing to him! Victor Hobson will go to the pro bowl now that he's on the Pats! Classic SOJ to just let him get away! NE got Albert Haynesworth and Ochocinco and we didn't even pick up a phone! That's why we suck!! and on and on. Build the team you want to build. I'm OK with hanging onto Harvin until we have his replacement, but you don't draft, sign, re-sign, retain, or trade for players out of fear that the Patriots will.
