I for one would love for the Jets to keep him the Jets can cut him without taking a cap hit. They are not spending 50 million in cap space Harvin provides depth adds a extra weapon. You really think BRANDON Marshalls stays on the field for all 16 games? With the Jets history of picking 4th rounders. They do better trading the pick for player look at Chris Ivory. If the Jets cut him New England will get him and the Jets will have to face him twice a year. Screw it keep Harvin the Jets are better off. Marshals history says he stays on the field. and puts up big numbers. Harvin don't say either.

I don't know about that. You're telling me that 3, 4, maybe 5 teams reserve money for Harvin and let other free agent WRs go by as they wait 10 days? What do the teams who don't get him do at that point? They sit around like a bunch of Idziks.Best Idzik reference ever! Rep given... Fo shizzle.

I think Marshall hitting 31 years of age this month is on the wrong side of thirty for that kind of money. Granted if he was not a head case with a recent injury we would not be acquiring him for a fifth rd pick. I would have preferred to keep the pick, draft a wide receiver high and sign a hold the fort guy from cuts on Tuesday. Santonio Holmes was a selfish prick but represented much better value, younger, on a rookie deal, blah,blah,blah, yada, yada, yada and so on. Holmes is pure dogshit compared to Brandon Marshall. And that fuckin dude is TOUGH. He plays physical and pissed and doesn't take no for an answer when the ball is in the air. Something you would NEVER get from that soft bitchass Santonio. I remember being aggravated watching him in Miami at just how physical he was, and how I can't even recall us ever having a WR like that. And I was relieved when he left there. Don't think his game has really changed all that much and the dude can still catch and will fight for the ball. Things we have desperately needed for like 20 years now. I doubt Marshall will toss the ball up into the air to the other team when he gets an owie. He freakin' punctured a lung on the field last year. That is a weird injury uncommon for a WR. How the hell do you puncture a lung catching a football? Anyway I don't think it has any indication of being something that could repeat or continue to be a problem, like a hamstring or ACL or achilles, or to call him "injury prone". Total freak injury.

Pure speculation, but if Marshall catches the ball at the highest point (ie., he's the definition of a "defenceless receiver") and is wiped out by a hard hit to the chest, then he could quite easily puncture a lung. Break a rib and the rib is forced into the lung and there's your injury.

I don't think it's horrible if Percy goes to the Patriots. All receivers seem interchangeable there thanks to the QB, I don't think he'll be spectacularly better. Having said that I'd love to see the Raiders overpay him

There's a certain ass backward thinking that goes on with players like Harvin. We don't want him here, don't want to pay him what the market says he should get but we don't want him to play somewhere else. Especially in NE.
Who cares, what did he do here that makes you care if he winds up in NE? We have more shit to worry about, to get this team better than to worry about who signs with the pats.

I can't even recall us ever having a WR like that. Last WR we had of his stature was this guy: That was my thought. And it's been at least 15 years if I'm not mistaken... Who the hell DOES that?!

Having said that I'd love to see the Raiders overpay him You honestly think that the success of the Patriots WR's has NOTHING to do with their respective ability and everything to do with the QB?

Having said that I'd love to see the Raiders overpay him i doubt if harvin gets a contract worth even half of what he had with the patsies. they got edelman, gronkowski, lafell and wright. it's not like they need harvin.

This was supposed to happen today, but hasn't. I wonder why? Maybe hoping to work a trade with someone like Oakland for a late round pick? Cobb got $10M a year from Packers, and apparently could have got more on the open market, so maybe trading for Harvin at $10M a year suddenly looks more attractive to a team flush with cap space? Wishful thinking, probably, but you never know...
