docdhc Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Percy Harvin says 'itch came back' to play football again play Percy Harvin ready to return to the NFL (0:27) 8:28 AM ET ESPN Former NFL wide receiver Percy Harvin told ESPN's Josina Anderson that he wants to return to football. Harvin, who has not played since the 2016 season and battled numerous injuries throughout his career, told Anderson that he is "ready to return to the NFL." ADVERTISEMENT "I thought I was done, but that itch came back," Harvin told Anderson on Tuesday. Harvin, who turns 32 next month, retired for a second time in March 2017 after playing in two games the previous season with the Buffalo Bills. His agent told ESPN at the time that Harvin was "done" playing. But Harvin told Anderson on Tuesday that he has been training with a former Olympian, weighs 185 pounds and is ready to join "any offense that'll just let me go." "My body is feeling good," Harvin told Anderson. "Mentally I'm better. My family is good. The timing is right." Harvin's playing time was limited in 2016 because of migraine headaches, an issue he dealt with throughout his career. But he said he never officially filed for retirement. "I knew I wasn't functioning right, not only physically, just all around the board," he told Anderson. "I had to get in contact with myself." A first-round pick of the Minnesota Vikings in 2009, Harvin was named the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. In 2013, the Vikings traded him to the Seattle Seahawks, whom he helped win Super Bowl XLVIIIagainst the Denver Broncos with an 87-yard kickoff-return touchdown. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgb Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Horrible chills. I traded Brees for Harvin in my dynasty team. 30 minutes later (kid you not) Harvin was traded to Jets. It was at that moment that I knew I was screwed. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again if we’re gonna throw money away at a WR which I’m not saying we should do, I’d sign Gordon before Harvin 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More Cowbell Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Well right now he would be either the #1 or 2 WR so why not. As long as the price is right. If he really wants to play, sign him to the vet minimum.at worst he can return kicks or punts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Low risk - high reward. Worst case scenario, you cut him. I mean, what’s the difference between Harvin and Q? Both of their issues is availability. Quincy is getting paid a ridiculous amount of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
