Report: Vikings Will Try to Trade Percy Harvin After Wide Receiver Disrespected Coach Leslie Frazier

Percy Harvin may be on his way out of Minnesota.

The Vikings will try to trade their star receiver this offseason, according to CBS Minnesota. Harvin was placed on injured reserve prior to Week 13, but that may have had to do with his attitude more than a sprained ankle he suffered in Week 9.

According to the report, Harvin “had an embarrassing tirade directed toward [Vikings head coach Leslie] Frazier.” Teammates were not happy with Harvin’s behavior, and he was subsequently placed on injured reserve.

Harvin has one more year remaining on his rookie contract. He triggered an escalator during the 2012 season which raises his 2013 salary from $1.55 million to $2.9 million.
