The Facts:
As Percy Harvin
headed west to join his new team in Seattle, he left behind
an unfavorable national report about his opinion of Ponder and the role it played in Minnesota trading the receiver. But as far as Ponder is concerned, that opinion no longer matters. “The thing is, there’s no quote strictly from Percy that he was the one saying it,” Ponder said. “I haven’t put too much thought into it. If that was his opinion, that’s unfortunate. But he’s a Seahawk now, so it doesn’t really matter.”

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Ponder said that Harvin never directly told him he was unhappy with his play, adding he thought he had a “good relationship” with the receiver. Ponder said he hadn’t thought much about the idea that Harvin was critical of him until Yahoo! Sports reported Monday that Harvin’s complaints about the quarterback were a main reason why the Vikings traded him. Harvin went home to Florida once the Vikings placed him on injured reserve in December, and Ponder said he hadn’t spoken to the receiver since then. Of the Harvin trade, Ponder said: “Seattle wins, because they get him. Percy wins -- he got a new contract, which was what he really has been wanting. And we win, because we get some good draft picks. ..." And Ponder apparently has one less locker room critic.
