At $10M per year, no Cap hit for releasing him, and only giving up a 6th round pick instead of a 4th, I think a new GM will say bye bye to Harvin and try to build the Jets from the ground up. You could be right. And hell, if Peyton decides to hang it up, I think there's a realistic possibility that Demaryius Thomas decides to test the market. And if we decide to get rid of Harvin, we suddenly have around $64 million to spend. Cut some additional dead weight like CJ, Babin and Cumberland and that number moves closer to the $70 mill mark. More than enough to sign 2-3 upper tier free agents and a few mid tier guys. Signing Thomas and Iupati and then adding a CB like Maxwell and upgrading the LB corps would be amazing. ...and yet quite possible as I was going to post in the mock draft thread but I can't cut and paste without my laptop. I can see some blockbuster moves for a team not only with need but money it MUST spend. Demaryus us actually stands a better chance of being extended if Peyton leaves. They are up against the cap and would likely prefer signing the TE Thomas as they have a glut of WRs and can afford more to let the WR walk. If forehead leaves, they could afford him.

If you believed that his previous injuries were anomalies, there is an argument for keeping Harvin. He plays with real heart but he's fragile. My gut is that he will continue to miss a significant amount of playing time due to injuries. Not worth the risk at 10 million a year. At six million a year I could live with the injuries but someone out there will pay him more. No chance he stays if Quinn is hired. Harvin will be the first cut.

I like Harvin but the injury bug with him scares me, he seems to be hurt all the time on top of the issue with his hip. If we release him we will save some cap money and I think we should try to get Demaryius or Dez or Randall Cobb. Even Maclin would be a great pickup. You save some money but at the same time you improve the WR corps. A no brainer for me.

Harvin is the best player we have
We have to spend this cap money.....I would think he's staying. He did a nice job while here.
If we can re work his deal, all the better
