They won the superbowl without Harvin and yes, Wilson has a huge contract coming. Golden Tate was traded after he fell out with Wilson, so could be a number of things. Prefer Seattle's side here, usually far prefer draft building than buying via trades

We were discussing how summat strange seemed to be happening with Harvin earlier in the week too. Just seemed to be used in such a strange way recently and seems all was not well behind the scenes. Maybe club were trying to force him out a little like Buffalo might be doing with Spiller now (and did with Lynch when they traded him to Seattle)

They need the cap space for the new head coach to spend on the quarterback he wants. Geno can't be the answer. They need a franchise QB.

You mean Buffalo mate?

Wouldn't be amazed if Spiller was elsewhere before the trade deadline too. If he stays and becomes a free agent do you reckon he is fav to outlast Marrone?

These things out of the blue are usually behind the scenes related.  (shagging a players wife/other off the field issues which effect chemistry etc etc).  It doesn't make much sense to do it right now for Seattle given they are 2nd favs for the superbowl.  Think it's a bit early to be writing off this season.

Well, I did mean the Jets (seriously, even Alan Pardew thinks Rex Ryan should step down) but I do agree Spiller could be gone before the end of the season.

Jets have needs all across the roster. Mariota appears to be the standout candidate at the moment.

We can assume this ends the Brady speculation..?

Yes, it was common knowledge that they traded Golden Tate as he had been shagging Wilsons wife which has brought on their divorce. No way would they be writing off the season and given the numbers he has put up he hasn't contributed that much. think you probably nailed it and it's a good way of getting the cap room and hope that Kearse/Richardson can contribute more now. Their D is getting a little banged up now, maybe they are looking to bring someone in to fill a need too.

Odd. Jets are $21m under the cap. Great chance to use that in free agency next year, and a high draft pick to turn things round. Harvin is paid $13m a year contracted through 2018 so that's most the cap space gone. Seattle I understand more, if he is a royal pain in the arse in the locker-room as is said he is and it gets that underperforming $13m off the cap

I follow Chris Kluwe on Twitter and he is quick to slag off former team mates.

I've seen him lay into Blair Walsh, Adrian Peterson and Brett Favre.

But he only ever says positive things about Percy Harvin.

'''''According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the Seahawks had been shopping Percy Harvin for several weeks.
Multiple reports suggest Harvin's anger management issues led to his trade to the Jets'''''

Excellent Seattle Times Sports story on what led the Seahawks to trade Percy Harvin:

http://bit.ly/1DkDxjW

seems he was a character problem, and they wanted rid and he wanted out

Lions injury list for Sunday is worse than Arsenal's for an average Premier League match.

Megatron playing must be 1.01 now tho. Then the falcons have to double cover etc.

I'm amazed they're only 1/2 to win. Matt Ryan must be wearing extra lumbar support for all the time he's going to be on his back.

Go on then, you can have some 1.05 with me. Very generous!   Grin
