Rumor: Percy Harvin to be released by Jets?

Rich Cimini of ESPN New York takes a look at the New York Jets wide receivers and comes to the conclusion that Percy Harvin may be the odd man out:

The big decision involves Harvin, who has four years, $41.5 million remaining on the contract inherited from the Seattle Seahawks — none of it guaranteed. The Jets must make the call by March 19. If he’s still on the roster, they owe the Seahawks a fourth-round pick, completing the trade from last October. If they cut him before the 19th, it’s a sixth-rounder. His entire cap charge comes off the books if they cut bait. Clearly, Harvin isn’t a $10 million a year receiver, but he has talent. Are the Jets willing to overpay out of desperation? Not likely.
