The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... With rumors swirling about Harvin's future with the Vikings, one teammate hopes Harvin is around to help the team next season. NFL MVP running back Adrian Peterson said he wouldn't trade Harvin, the talented, temperamental receiver who is looking for a new contract. "I don't know if we will or not, but me, individually and in my opinion, I wouldn't trade him," Peterson said on Tuesday. "No, I wouldn't trade him."

Diehards Line:Harvin, who led the team with 62 catches for 677 yards last season, was the Minnesota player being touted for the MVP award during the Vikings' 4-1 start to the season. Harvin was leading the league in catches and kickoff return average before a midseason ankle injury caused him to miss the final seven games. Peterson wouldn't mind having Harvin around again next year, sharing the ball as the top two playmakers in Minnesota's offense. "To do the things that he's able to do, I don't think there will be a player that's able to do it better than him, ever," Peterson said. ... But the future for Harvin, who is owed $2.9 million in the final season of his rookie contract, remains unclear with various reports suggesting the Vikings will look to trade the mercurial receiver and that Harvin is likely to stay away from the offseason workouts and training camp if he doesn't have a new contract in place. ... Don't look for a quick resolution on this one (meaning prepare yourself for an off-season long drama).
