No...just that bills are throwing $$ at him

Harvin would be helpful in employing the short passing game against corners like Revis. But don't like it at a lot of money.

On twitter i forget who said that if he is on a 1 year prove it deal,,,he wants a good team

Now that we have no Cbs..i don't want these WRs to go to East teams...but no one has a QB so i guess it doesn't matter

Right, it would be stupid to try to "prove it" with EJ Manuel or Matt Cassel throwing you the rock in a run-centric offense. Not much opportunity to showcase yourself there.

If he makes it out of Buff withoit a contract we almost have to sign him.

No..if it's a big deal he will take the $$

If we know one thing for sure, fast WR running crossing routes are Revis' kryptonite. Edelman, Harvin, LaFell, Gronk, Wright in a 5 wide set? Scary, add in a Bush or Spiller and that offense would be unstoppable.

They don't have to sign him. I still think they will end up with Bowe

Rather have Johnson over Bowe

I forsee the Pats using him more like Florida did. At Florida he was considered a running back. If they could morph him back into a third down back, he could replace Vereen. He is great with the ball in his hands, not exactly the world's greatest route running. I think he would fail in the Pats system as a WR, but he might thrive as a third down back.

Harvin May Visit Today

Received slightly unclear text but believe Percy Harvin will visit #Patriots today if doesn't sign with #Bills. Sorry if already reported.

There's a thread on reddit that says Harvin plans to visit New England no matter what the Bills say and that money isn't the issue but his role on the team is.

Harvin seems like the kind of headcase that would thrive here (like he did under Meyer at Florida) ala Blount. He's basically a supremely athletic Swiss army knife. He can line up at flanker, split-end, in the slot, and in the backfield and gash the defense with big plays. Like many of our other receiving options, though, health is the question mark with Percy. Belichick is enamored with him though (or seems to be) so, if Harvin vistits, I don't expect him to leave.

Edelman
Lafell
Harvin (slot)
Gronk
Blount

Colts couldn't hold that offense to under 50.

@JosinaAnderson: Highest WR Reception Pct. since 2011:

Percy Harvin: 72.0
J. Edelman: 70.0
W. Welker: 69.6

You holding out hope as well that dobson does something.

Mark my words, if Harvin visits, he's not leaving without a contract offer. He's everything that Belichick likes in a skill position guy.
