The Minnesota Vikings aren’t exactly the best NFL when it comes to depth at wide receiver. And further depleting that depth isn’t the best way to help a young quarterback in Christian Ponder develop further. But nonetheless Percy Harvin wants out of the twin cities.
The Associated Press‘ Jon Krawczynski appears to have first reported this in a tweet.
Krawczynski reported on Harvin’s unhappiness Tuesday, when the receiver spoke out on the first day of the team’s minicamp.
“I just put it this way, there’s a lot of different things that have to be sorted out,” Harvin said. “Just haven’t been really happy lately. We’ve got a couple of things to work on. I’m here in the classroom. We’ll go from there.”
Harvin, who finished just 33 yards shy of a 1,000 yard season in 2011, did not get into specifics of why he can’t be in Minnesota any more. But he did say that he’s reached a breaking point.
