1 » The trade of former Florida Gators wide receiver Percy Harvin – from the Seattle Seahawks to the New York Jets – was completed over the weekend in a transaction which you can read about in full by clicking here. However, since the trade was first reported on Friday, there has been plenty of fallout from the situation, most of it centering on Harvin and his alleged anger-management issues.

According to CBSSports.com‘s Jason La Canfora, Harvin was a “pain in the ass,” who was not a fit for the organization “on a lot of levels,” and the situation did not “look like it was going to get better. Per The Seattle Times: “Harvin had gotten into an altercation with former Seahawks Golden Tate before the Super Bowl that resulted in Tate getting a black eye. A source also said Harvin had an altercation with Seattle receiver Doug Baldwin in the week leading up to the final exhibition game this August at Oakland that resulted in Baldwin getting a cut on his chin and each player being excused from practices that week. … One final straw, a league source said, came in [last] Sunday’s 30-23 loss to Dallas when Harvin apparently balked at going back into the game in the fourth quarter.”

The Seahawks, which are also looking to clear cap space in preparation to re-sign quarterback Russell Wilson, believe they will be able to get along just fine without Harvin, just like they did last season when they won the league’s title. Multiple Seattle players were reportedly angry about management’s decision, namely star running back Marshawn Lynch. Former teammates, including QB Brett Favre, have come to Havin’s defense. Favre called Harvin, who he played with as a member of the Minnesota Vikings, “a good guy in the locker room” despite being “a little combative … in a good way” because “Percy’s all about doing whatever he can to help you win. He’s tough as nails and really that’s all he cares about. … I liked him as a player and a person.”



2 » There was also additional fallout from the trade as the Jets were forced to make a subsequent roster move after acquiring Harvin. New York decided to cut wideout David Nelson, who had amassed just 65 yards on eight receptions (with two fumbles in a single game) through six contests this season. Nelson started five of those six games, 11-of-18 of his contests with the Jets and 25 of the 35 NFL games he has been active for since 2011. Nelson is expected to clear waivers, though it remains a question if another team will pick up the oft-injured pass catcher this year.

3 » Former Gators center Jonotthan Harrison was not selected in the 2014 NFL Draft, a surprise to many considering his success as a starter at Florida from 2011-13. Harrison, however, did not have the measurables that many teams look for at the position, which made him a better undrafted free agent signing – lower risk – than a draft selection. Well, the Indianapolis Colts pounced on Harrison in free agency, and he wound up being instrumental for the team in the preseason when their starting center (Khaled Holmes) went down with an injury. Harrison moved back to a reserve role when Indianapolis signed A.Q. Shipley to start the season in place of Holmes, but he has quickly supplanted Shipley and appears to be cemented in as the Colts’ center. “The expectation is that Jonotthan Harrison will be the Colts’ starting center for years to come,” wrote Mike Wells of ESPN.com on Saturday. “Now you’re looking at the Colts’ quarterback-center tandem of the future” [with Andrew Luck].”
