The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... With so much talk about what the Vikings want to do with Harvin, there hasn’t been much talk about what Harvin wants to do with the Vikings. And Harvin, at this stage of his career, wants to get paid. And he could be preparing to take a stand in order to get it. Per a league source, Harvin currently is expected to stay away from offseason workouts and training camp absent a new deal.

Diehards Line:No real surprise. ... Last year, Harvin asked for a trade because he wasn’t unhappy with his financial situation. But he then viewed 2012 as a contract year. Which means that, even with one year left on his rookie deal, Harvin wants a new contract (and the Vikings hinted at the time they might be willing to give him one). He’s due to make $2.9 million in 2013. As PFT's Mike Florio explained, b because Harvin has four years of service, he could stay away from training camp and skip up to 10 weeks of the regular season while still getting credit toward the final year of his contract and becoming an unrestricted free agent next year. Though he would face significant fines and the loss of multiple game checks, a holdout is likely unless he signs a new contract. In other words, look for the Harvin-related drama to be ongoing all offseason.
