Spielman declined to elaborate on the issues or confirm Harvin's trade request but did acknowledge he has spoken with Harvin's agent, Joel Segal, "a few times. Just some internal things that we'll work out and very excited to have Percy a part of this team moving forward. ..." Spielman declined to say whether Harvin's contract is part of the issue but pointed out the Vikings "have a history of extending players going into the last year of their contract." As 1500ESPN.com's Tom Pelissero notes, that could be a sticking point, given that Harvin has two years remaining on the five-year, $12.05 million deal he signed as the No. 22 overall pick in the 2009 draft. In three NFL seasons, Harvin has accounted for 5,821 total yards and 24 touchdowns. ... Stay tuned. We haven't heard the last of this one.
