In 2013, the Minnesota Vikings traded Percy Harvin to the Seattle Seahawks about a month before the NFL Draft, where he later won a Super Bowl, after then-general manager Rick Spielman said the Vikings “had no intent” to trade the electric playmaker.
Percy Harvin? Stefon Diggs? Justin Jefferson’s Situation Isn’t Like That.
Seven years later, Spielman repeated the deed, offloading Stefon Diggs to the Buffalo Bills after saying “there was no reason to believe” the Minneapolis Miracle merchant would be traded.
Now, in 2024, some are paranoid a different general manager will trade Justin Jefferson, as Minnesota has yet to extend his contract for the long haul.
