and he will be gone next year..how does that make it smart to pick up a garage player that is probably not even top 100 in production this year?

I think the seahawks are eating some dead money on this trade as well. That would go beyond "not a fit"

Jets problem is the QB. Getting a glass cannon won't solve it.
Also Seattle has no WRs now

Harvin forced his way out of Minnesota to escape Ponder, now he has a worse Ponder.
Nice job, Perce!
The problem is they are also missing Golden Tate, who was their best receiver. Am I wrong Seattle fans? You've got... Baldwin and Kearse as your #1 and #2 options right?

They weren't going to trade him to a NFC team, especially a team with playoff chances.
Best to dump him in the AFC on a shitty team and not key it done back to bite you in the ass
Where did I say it would be smart? I simply said they're dumb enough.
Sporttrac has his remaining dead at $7.5m all in 2014.
I mean, if Marshawn doesn't get a solid workload this week after Harvin leaving AND Bevell admitting that he needs to give him the ball more, I dunno what to say. I dunno why you'd keep him around and give him a raise this season if you're not going to use him.
We miss Golden Tate, but we won the Super Bowl without Harvin last year, so I'm not necessarily gonna hit the tank button.

That 13.5 number is wrong. His 2014 salary carries a 7.1 million charge in dead money. They can split that between this season and 2015 I believe so yeah - its about 3.5 million.
He was a major part of it.

Yeah a top 3 of Baldwin, Kearse and RICARDO LOCKETTE is not really scaring anyone.

With a better overall team last year which included Golden Tate.
This type of deal would have made a hell of a lot more sense for both teams in the offseason. It happening now is pretty bizarre.

Marshawn can come to NE and hang out with his brother Percy in the East.

SEA TAR after Harvin: Baldwin 24, Kearse 19, Lynch 18, L Wilson 11. Paul Richardson becomes interesting flyer in deeper leagues...

MORE: Seattle will receive conditional 2015 draft pick, which will range from 2nd- to 4th-RD pick. (via @ClaytonESPN)
He scored 1 TD when the game was already over.
PRich future!
Yeah, I'm still thinking some shit happened behind the scenes and they were done with him.

That was really just to run the Wildcat because he was fucking fast.

That 08 Florida team was so good
Holy fuck if that's true the Jets are fucking stupid.
Russell will get his money next year meaning some other key contributors will not get paid. Now the Seahawks can fill those spots with the shitton of draft picks they have.

The whole game is a blur to me at this point, but didn't he have a massive end around run on the first drive? He had 2 or 3 of those in fact. He really set the tone and stole momentum.

As if my fantasy team couldn't take more damage. Megatron injured, now Harvin getting balls thrown at his cleats from Geno Smith?

That's not what the Seahawks are getting from the Jets. It's what they gave up to get Harvin from Minnesota. Jets are giving SEA a 2 to 4th rounder.

Harvin was already hurting your fantasy team this year. It's not like he's going to get even worse.
Turned out to be Xavier Rhodes.
Worth it for 2nd half kick off return TD?

Good thing we played the jets last night and not next Thursday
He's the reason you have a SB. Show respect.
Seahawks had over $10m in cap space going into this year, so it's not like paying him hurt them in any real way.
His only tangible cost was the roster spot and the draft picks.
You realize we have to play them again in NY

Its not like the Seahawks were getting him involved in the offense. From a fantasy perspective this doesn't hurt his value at all.
