Percy Harvin‘s second retirement might not stick. The longtime NFL wide receiver wants to return to the field in 2020, as Josina Anderson of ESPN.com tweets.
“I’m ready to return to the NFL,” Harvin said. “I thought I was done, but that itch came back. I’ve been training with a former Olympian. My body is feeling good. Mentally I’m better. My family is good. The timing is right.”
We haven’t seen Harvin on the field since 2016, when he played in a pair of games for the Bills. Throughout his career, he was held back by hip injuries, knee issues, and chronic migraines. But, when he was healthy, he was special.
Harvin, a former first-round pick, enjoyed his best season in 2011, when he posted 87 receptions for 967 yards and six touchdowns, while adding another 345 yards and two scores on the ground. Prior to the 2013 season, he was traded to the Seahawks, but he ultimately played in just six games before being dealt once again, this time to the Jets. Harvin struggled through a half-season with Gang Green before finishing his career in Buffalo, where he never truly got off the ground.
Harvin probably won’t fetch much in the way of guaranteed money, but he profiles as an intriguing low-risk pickup for teams in need of WR help.
Hasn’t been a productive wr since 2012 and now he’s in his 30s I don’t see interest
And low risk? The guys literally insane
Howie can you at least get us *one* veteran receiver?
He should not be the one. Marquise Lee or a draft day trade for another vet.
If I recall, Percy was a migraine to all of the teams. Which is why he kept getting dealt.
if I recall right he had bad migraines and his team didn’t think it was that bad and him and the team had a falling out and he got traded then I forget y he got traded next I wanna say he didn’t get along with management or something then went to bills it’s been a bit so not sure I’m 100 percent right lol but when he’s healthy he’s electric to watch but he’s in his 30s now so I wonder if he has lost a step or two
He didn’t get along with teammates and actual got into physical fights with them. He tried to fight Russell Wilson.
You mean Golden Tate
This babbling run-on sentence is enough to give anyone a migraine…
Nearly spat out my food Polish haha
Is it because the Marijuana rules have relaxed?
yeah he only got the itch because the rules relaxed… seriously?
I think he meant because now Harvin can smoke to relieve his migraines now. Maybe he’s had the itch but was afraid to come back because that may be how he handles the migraines. Just a thought, “just-a-fan”.
Exactly Bane. I’m guessing he’s wanted to play all along. But now he’s got the best chance to make the best of both worlds, so to speak.
Deepest draft class for WRs and Percy thinks this is good timing. Pass
The market for aging players who relied heavily on their speed, had well-documented medical problems and haven’t played a snap in the NFL in several years is generally not strong.
Dudes a cancer to teams
If Dez can’t even get a contract then this guy has no chance.
Patriots! come on Bill vets minimum.
Harvin’s timing would have been a touch better had he been ready to go in time for the XFL re-launch.
Sound like somebody might be burning through his cash, and may have to try and play again.
