Per rotoworld: Quote: Profootballtalk.com reports that a new contract for Percy Harvin is already in place with the Seahawks.
CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora previously suggested Harvin could command $12 million annually, which would make him the league's third-highest paid receiver behind Calvin Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald. PFT's Mike Florio confirms Harvin's deal "won't be close" to Megatron and Fitz. The bottom line is Harvin isn't a one-year rental in Seattle. They're locking up the 24-year-old long term. I know this is kind of meaningless since we'll know the details a few hours from now, but it sounds like Harvin's contract may not be quite the albatross as was initially feared. _________________  "I believe there’s merit to the idea that once something in life becomes conventional, it’s no longer the safest path to success." -Matt Waldman "If everyone's thinking alike, no one's thinking." -Bill Walsh

I don't think Pete and John would have made the trade for Harvin if Harvin was demanding 12 million a year.
My guess is it'll be more in the 8-9 million a year range, but for 4-5 years.

I'll be very very surprised if it's less than what Bowe and V.Jackson got. They both got 5 year 53-55mil. Anything less and we are getting a bargin. I expect Mike Wallace to get about the same yet he dosn't have near the versatility and impact on the game Harvin will have.

I laughed when I first heard the 12 mil figure. That's not happening

If he's second tier as mentioned in another thread, figure it's going to be around Sidney's 5 year/41 million contract. I'm going to guess 5 years/ 48 million with 24 guaranteed.

My guess is it'll be more in the 8-9 million a year range, but for 4-5 years. I still think it will be north of 10 mil. Both Bowe and V Jack are at ~11 per so it could conceivably be higher than those.

Previously I was expecting 13 or 14 million per. Now I'm expecting 11 or 12.

Not new news, and was already covered in the Harvin thread in the last three pages.

Could be that Harvin and his agent threw out the "Fitz/Megatron type money" rumors to scare off some of the weaker teams in the league. By publicly demanding so much money, you're basically limiting a possible trade to only the serious contenders. Most serious contenders usually have at least a solid QB, which is apparently what he wanted. I want to think that he'd take non-big 2 money in order to facilitate a trade to a true, proven contender like Seattle with an excellent QB who's the same age as him and on the rise.

If it is below Bowe then it is a HUGE amount guaranteed
I agree with those that expects around $11-$12 million but maybe "not more" than $20-25million guaranteed

10m-12m sounds good as long as Harvin can be healthy for 16 games. any number lower than 10m seems good bargain

Both Bowe and V Jack are at ~11 per so it could conceivably be higher than those. If It's a 3 yr deal, then I agree with you. I'm hoping that the concession is more years for a little less money. That way the cap hit isn't so big.

More years will mean less cap hit up front, and an out towards the end of the contract.

To be real, I think he wanted those numbers from the Vikings just to move him, last night something came out about him not wanting to play with Ponder anymore.
Could he have forced his way out of Minnesota in more ways than one?
