3rdand12 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Loads of teams have risky players that they manage. Hell, we've been doing that with Goodwin since he came into the league... though most of the time they miss the game due to being on the injury report, or something, not just 'we're resting him', since I'm not sure how that works with the NFL's rules. I think that is something the Bills need to manage better honestly. you cannot have both Goodwin and Harvin on the team because of the propensity for injury and lost time.

Dorkington Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Oh, I agree. I think Goodwin should be gone. Harvin is a much better player when healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manther Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 According to WGR Sal Carpaccio the Bills are considering resigning Percy Harvin in an effort to support Sammy. WHAT? Harvin has disappointed every team he has ever played on. I am not knowledgeable enough to determine why Seattle cut his a?? in mid season, or why he failed to complete his Jets Season 2 years ago, or why the best special teams player in the NFC was sent packing but my guess would be more mental illness than physical. He has a history of failing teammates and teams at the most sensitive of times. That may be uncontrollable by PH, but when he is on your team it is always the shoe you are waiting to drop. IMHO his history speaks loudly and we should not be considering keeping this problem. We are not in the business of healing lost souls. If he had injured his leg and was not capable of making cuts to the left we would not be having this conversation. What say you? IMO we are considering resigning him like we considered restructuring Mario. If I am wrong and we sign him I hate the signing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 As long as it's for the Vet minimum and they draft another guy to go along with the rest I would be alright with that. He should not be signed unless he is signed after week 1 so the team has option of cutting him whenever healthy and not paying for full season. If he wants to come to Bills training camp fine, I could see him doing that since he and WR coach seem to work well together, but GM tells him ahead of time you will be cut and resigned week 2 if you are doing well in camp.

Reks Ryan Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 The problem is not only the money, it's also a roster spot. If he signs and stays healthy through pre-season he is on the opening day roster. But once he gets hurt he will have wasted a spot that could go to a young prospect or a contributing player. Percy was terrific in the first month of the season. The Fish could absolutely not cover him on 3rd down in that early season game. But, he's just too unreliable to waste a roster spot, even at a reduced contract. I am tired of watching meaningless December games with 15 guys that weren't on the opening day roster. Why sign up for a guy that you can almost guarantee will not finish the season.

I'm sure he wont be that desperate for work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommonCents Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I'm sure he wont be that desperate for work. We just tendered Chris Hogan!! Now we are going to strong arm Percy. Or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I swear I'm taking crazy pills! People still believe in Harvin?!?! What is going on. Dude has been stealing money since 2011. So overrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy McFiddish Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Oh and the fact that he punched Golden Tate in the face makes me like him even more. If only he could get to Trump and Kanye now..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maury Ballstein Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) I swear I'm taking crazy pills! People still believe in Harvin?!?! What is going on. Dude has been stealing money since 2011. So overrated.I'm with ya, have zero interest in him and he was a good player for one season with farve in Minnesota a long time ago. I'm with taking a stab at Sanu as well as drafting one of the top 5 wideouts in this draft. Edited March 8, 2016 by Ryan L Billz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Don't care either way. He's great when healthy. Just don't give him a big contract and have a backup plan. Easy enough, right? sounds like a great plan. If we can get him on a decent contract, and draft another WR, I think we are okay. Imagine if Harvin is healthy, Watkins healthy, and we get a decent 4th round WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincec Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 What did he ever contribute last year? He was awfully good the first few weeks of the season. But he really needs to retire. Does anyone think he has been focused and working hard on coming back better than ever this off season while considering retirement? And then there are his injury concerns. In the NFL you've got to be 100% or you're better off not showing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
