The Seattle Seahawks are now big news in this area outside the sports world, so fans and non-fans alike are in a state of shock at the news that Percy Harvin has been traded to the New York Jets. I received the news on the Twitter feed on my phone while having coffee with my dad at Starbucks and spent a second wondering if it was a joke.
Percy Harvin, although spending much of last season sidelined by injuries, was probably the team's most exciting player, he will be remembered running back a kick-off for a touchdown in the Super Bowl, one of the most memorable moments in Seattle sports history. It put an exclamation point on a great victory. This year, while healthy, his numbers were less than exciting, but fans seemed to think a breakthrough was immanent.
The Seahawks will receive a conditional draft choice from the Jets for Harvin.

He was bad news in the locker room. The negativity, anger issues, got him tossed from Minnesota. Now, the Seahawks front office has had enough, admitted they made a mistake bringing him onto the team and kicked him to the curb. Yes, he leaves with a briefcase full of money, but the message is out there to all teams, Percy Harvin is bad news.
