The Facts:
While the speculation locally and in NFL circles is that Harvin won't be back with the Vikings next season because of his personal problems with the franchise, HC Leslie Frazier said: "I don't see any reason why Percy wouldn't be back with us. He should be."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
You would think that if Harvin, who was put on injured reserve last month, is traded, the Vikings would get a strong package for him. Remember: Harvin will be entering the last season of his rookie contract next year and is due to make $1.55 million. Harvin almost certainly will be looking for a long-term extension this offseason and it remains to be seen if the team will reward him with one. Nobody is arguing Harvin's value to the offense. Despite playing in only nine games, Harvin still leads the Vikings with 62 receptions -- nine more than TE Kyle Rudolph and 22 more than Michael Jenkins, who ranks second among the team's WRs with 40 -- for 677 yards and three touchdowns (in addition to a rushing touchdown and a kickoff returned for another score). Despite all that, 1500ESPN.com's Tom Pelissero
considers Harvin 50-50 to return to Minnesota this season. His future with the club will clearly be one of the offseason's biggest stories.
