darin3 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Local chatter has developed regarding a possible trade of Percy Harvin (who's obviously unhappy with his deal) and a pick for Arizona's Larry Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald has been pretty upfront about his desire to come back to the Twin Cities. Thoughts/comments? I think Fitz COULD be in as many "fits" as he was in this year with Ponder throwing him the ball instead of the scrubs in 'zona. That said, having a legit running game could help the Ponder-to-Fitz connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyBalata Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I'd be all for a trade like that. But I think this is first of many rumors in the off-season you'll hear in MN about Fitz coming home. There's been so many over the years. There will be a new one next month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard that there are always these kinds of Fitz rumors, but this one actually (at least to me) may have some legs based on Harvin's unhappiness with his contract.

kcmast Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I think Harvin has too many health concerns for "a pick" to even out that trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowboutthemCowboys Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I hope not. I'd like to watch Fitz play with a decent QB again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackass Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I think Harvin has too many health concerns for "a pick" to even out that trade. Bingo. I don't see how the cardinals would consider that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackass Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) Bingo. I don't see how the cardinals would consider that. ] ETA: i guess if the pick was high enough but still have a hard time seeing that happen.

Bring Back Pat!!! Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) Interesting. Maybe I'll start the "Fitz to NE" rumors as a replacement for Welker. Edited January 5, 2013 by Bring Back Pat!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 Interesting. Maybe I'll start the "Fitz to NE" rumors as a replacement for Welker. Yeah, except Fitzgerald has zero ties to New England, opposite of his hometown where he's said on several occasions that he said he wanted to come play. Plus, has Welker expressed disinterest in playing for the Pats? I'd find that particularly hard to believe. Not so with Harvin and the Vikes. They owe him a boatload of cash. Personally, I don't think it's going to happen... I think the Vikes will pay Harvin handsomely this summer and all will be fine in the fridgid upper Midwest. I just thought it was an interesting story (that had some legs - albeit wobbly ones) during what should be a quiet few months here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripleshot Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) Bleah. Harvin doesn't help the Cards if they still have no QB. How about this: Fitz to Seattle for Flynn and a 1st Round Pick. (It will never happen, no way they'd trade Fitz within the division, but they could use a QB and I'd rather have Flynn than Harvin if I were the Cardinals.) I think maybe the Seahawks go for Jennings(I sure hope they do), Welker(cheaper option) or Wallace(a gamble as he's a head case) as FAs.

CaP'N GRuNGe Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I want Harvin, Fitz, AND Jennings in Minnesota. Hey, a man can dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archiebonker Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 If Arizona got the right Draft pick, this might be a option. They need to get a top QB. But I don't know about this rumour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he does not, then where he wants to go is irrelevant. And Welker has not said he wants to leave, but he certainly does not want to play under the FT two years in a row. If he decides not to sign the tender, he might be allowed to walk or be dealt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Does Fitz have a no-trade clause he would need to waive? Yes. It is part of the 2008 contract that was extended in 2011 (8yrs $120million) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowboutthemCowboys Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Yes. It is part of the 2008 contract that was extended in 2011 (8yrs $120million) I'd imagine waiveing it to go to one of the best QBs/passing attacks in the league would be a no brainer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vikings are in the playoffs, so no way their pick is high enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Regardless if Minnesota could offer up a pick that would entice them, I can't imagine the new GM of the Cardinals selling off his franchise player his first year. It would be a public relations nightmare. Remember Scott Pioli and his blunder? He traded away Gonzo for a 5th round pick which ultimately led to his demise (along with numerous other blunders).
