Free agency is less than an hour away and many pundits will be flying round the cliche, good business. I think the best bit of business has already been done, yesterday the Seahawks traded for Harvin from the Vikings.
The reason why its such a good bit of business is the Seahawks came so close this season from the championship game. They are not a million miles away from making a serious run at the Super Bowl. The offence has been dynamic this season with Wilson at the head of it yet it does not possess too many home run weapons. Harvin is most defiantly that he can go to the house in a variety of ways receiving, running or returning. Giving Wilson extra weapons as he enters his second year is absolutely vital as teams are going to be watching him all through the off season preparing how to stop him to make his second year much more difficult. By giving the offence this new extra dimension it gives defensive coordinators a nightmare trying to plan for the Seahawks offence.
As for the Vikings they received a few low order draft picks and the Seahawks first round pick this season. The Vikings did not have much of an option than to trade Harvin a player who wanted out and was actively seeking a trade. The Vikings need to find value with their two first round draft picks they needed offensive weapons before Harvin left now they need multiple weapons. The Seahawks have done some good business already this off season now the Vikings need to show they have too.
