In this edition of NFL AM, we discuss the trade compensation for Percy Harvin and what it means for the New York Jets, and we also examine the official NFL injury report.

Harvin Deal Nets Second- to Fourth-Round Pick

It appears that the Seattle Seahawks will receive anywhere from a second-round pick to a fourth-round pick from the New York Jets for wide receiver Percy Harvin.

It’s a conditional draft pick that’s likely based upon playing time, stats or possibly even if Harvin is still a New York Jet by the time the 2015 Draft rolls around.

One would think that Harvin would be in the Jets’ future plans as he is owed $41.5 million over the next four seasons, but none of that money is guaranteed after this season. It seems as if Harvin would be in Jets general manager John Idzik’s plans as the team is 1-6 and going nowhere this season.

To part ways with Harvin after the season would basically mean throwing away a low to middle-round draft pick, something that won’t look very good on the young GM’s resume.

The rumors coming out of Seattle say that Harvin was very difficult to deal with and that’s consistent with what was said going back all the way to high school. It could be a partial explanation for why a player as talented as Harvin has been let go by two teams in the prime of his career. Harvin has reportedly fought with teammates on every team he’s played on.

From the Jets’ perspective, Harvin gives second-year quarterback Geno Smith another weapon as they try to figure out if he can be the man to lead the franchise going forward.

The Panthers’ injury report encompasses much of their 53-man roster as running backs Fozzy Whittaker and DeAngelo Williams are both listed as doubtful, as is linebacker Chase Blackburn and guard Aminiasi Silatolu.
