Bills, Harvin Reportedly Agree to Deal

Friday, March 13

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the Bills signed Harvin to a one-year deal. 

On March 11, ESPN's Josina Anderson reported that the Bills expect to continue their visit with Harvin on Thursday, starting at around 8:30 a.m. 

Anderson also broke down how Harvin's visit to Buffalo has been going:

"

A source to me on how Percy Harvin's visit with the #Bills: "His visit has been great. I know that he's very comfortable with us. I wouldn't be a surprise if he takes another visit and does his due diligence. I think there's a sentiment that there are some in Percy's camp that want him to play with a more experienced quarterback, but I believe we have some really good pieces here."

"

On March 10, CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reported the Bills are trying to land Harvin on a one-year contract. "Harvin [would] ideally like to be in a high-octane offense with an elite QB if on a prove-it contract, but the Bills are certainly throwing [money] around," La Canfora added. 

The Bills would go on to confirm the visit on the team website.

On Tuesday, Rand Getlin of Yahoo Sports reported that Harvin is in talks with a number of teams and that the Bills are his first scheduled visit.

Harvin to Take Time to Decide Where to Play

Friday, March 13

Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk reported that after finishing his meeting with the Bills, Harvin plans to take some time to make his decision:

"

The two-day visit ended Thursday. Per a source with knowledge of the situation, Harvin is now taking some time to plan his next move. Some have suggested that a visit to the Patriots will be happening. It could (and some would say it should), but it hasn’t been planned yet.

He has opportunities to take two more visits, and he’s contemplating whether to take them. Which obviously means he’s thinking seriously about ending the process and joining the Bills.

Harvin Reportedly Wants to Play Wide Receiver Full Time

Thursday, March 12

Anderson reported on what Harvin is looking for from his new team:

"

A source to me on what's important to Harvin after speaking with him. "A lot of people have lied to him and told Percy [Harvin] that when he plays on their team he will be a traditional wide receiver, but if you look over the course of his career that certainly hasn't always been the case. My understanding is that Percy wants to play the position full-time or get closer to that. He doesn't want to be the gadget guy all the time. He's grown tired of that. He wants to have a defined wide receiver role. I'm not saying he doesn't want to ever catch the ball out of the backfield again or run a bubble screen. He''l do whatever it takes to help the team win. I just think he wants to be respected as a traditional wide receiver threat."

Patriots Have Interest in Harvin

Tuesday, March 10

Ian Rapoport of NFL.com reported the New England Patriots have a "good chance" to be Harvin's landing spot after the Jets released the wide receiver. On Feb. 23, La Canfora first reported the New England Patriots would be interested in his services.

Harvin Cut by Jets

Tuesday, March 10

The Jets officially released Harvin after much speculation. ESPN's Rich Cimini reported that the Jets would save over $10.5 million in cap space by cutting Harvin and that a sixth-rounder will go to the Seahawks to complete the 2014 trade.

As Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio previously pointed out, Seattle's conditional draft pick acquired in the Harvin trade goes from a sixth-rounder to a fourth-rounder because Harvin was still on the Jets roster at the start of the league year.

The Jets' keeping Harvin was an issue due in large part to his salary, and Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reported in December that Harvin wouldn't take a reduced salary to stay in the Big Apple.

The Jets have a new regime in town with head coach Todd Bowles and general manager Mike Maccagnan taking over key organizational posts, therefore many expected changes. 

Harvin's talent is undeniable, but he wasn't worth the money to the new regime in New York and now he must find a new team for 2015.
