NFL Trade Rumors: Could the 49ers make a play for Percy Harvin?

 
Brace Hemmelgarn-US PRESSWIRE
According to sources, the Minnesota Vikings are pursuing trade offers for WR Percy Harvin. We discuss whether or not this move makes sense for the San Francisco 49ers.
 
Heading into the 2013 offseason, the San Francisco 49ers will be once again looking to situate the wide receiver corps. After Ted Ginn Jr. and Randy Mossinevitably depart, the Niners will have only four contracted players at the position.
And of the four returning, two are coming off season-ending injuries and another has yet to record a single NFL catch. Michael Crabtree stands out as the one dependable WR for the Niners going forward. It's a virtual certainty that the 49ers will look for outside help this offseason, and should explore all options.
On Sunday, NFL.com reported that the Minnesota Vikings will be examining trade offers for Percy Harvin. The Vikings WR currently has one year left on his deal, and reportedly wants out. Finally, the Vikings are in agreement and seem willing to meet Harvin's demands.
The 49ers will have roughly 14 available selections in the 2013 NFL Draft. They could potentially gain more with the trade of Alex Smith as well.
