Would Percy Harvin be a wise move for Green Bay Packers?

A bad attitude?

As talented a player as Harvin is, there are concerns about his attitude.

During his time with the Seahawks, speculation grew about Harvin and a potential falling out with teammate Golden Tate (now with the Detroit Lions). There was belief that there had been some physical altercations between the two.

Last October, former Seahawks fullback Michael Robinson, who was with the team during the 2013 championship run, had the following to say on the issue – according to NFL.com:

"“Yes, there was an altercation in the locker room between Percy Harvin and Golden Tate. It saddens me because I was a leader on that team,” Robinson said. “There was an issue. I physically broke it up, I was there.”"

It seems hard to believe that a player of his ability was traded by the Seahawks simply on not fitting into an offense.

They may have been concerned with his injury history, however. In his six years in the NFL, he has only featured in all 16 games once, back in 2011.

Harvin had a number of ankle issues in college, and they carried through into the NFL. He was relatively healthy during his first three seasons with the Vikings, but had to undergo surgery for a ligament tear in 2012, missing the end of the season.

After being traded to the Seahawks in 2013, Harvin tore the labrum in his hip and missed 15 regular season games. He of course returned in time Super Bowl XLVIII and was outstanding.

Harvin had a much healthier 2014, but was traded by the Seahawks to the Jets and has since been released.

He is certainly a talented player, but there are concerns with his attitude and health.

Is there any chance the Packers make a move?
