The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... Harvin has taken to Twitter, claiming that his unhappiness isn’t about money. And according to a source with knowledge of the situation, it actually isn’t about the money.
Diehards Line:PFT's Mike Florio went on to note that while the reason(s) of Harvin’s unhappiness remain unknown, a source explains that Harvin does not want traded because he wants a new deal. As Florio's source explained it, if Harvin truly wanted a new contract, he would at least have skipped the off-season program, and quite possibly the mandatory mini-camp. So if it's not the money? Perhaps he wants a bigger role. Last year, the team faced criticism for not using him enough. Harvin still racked up 967 yards receiving, 345 yards rushing and 520 yards on kickoff returns. That's 1,823 all purpose yards. ... With Adrian Peterson's early-season availability still up in the air, Harvin might be wise to hold his tongue now and see how things play out. We suspect the offense will run through Harvin to whatever extent Peterson isn't there.
