The Seattle Seahawks shipped off wide receiver Percy Harvin to the New York Jets on Friday, a move that caught a lot of people off guard. Harvin is an incredibly talented receiver, but injury issues have kept him off the field and seemed to be the reasoning behind the move.
There is also a rumor going around that Harvin’s anger management issues created problems in Seattle and played a role in him being traded away.
Heard “anger management” had quite a bit to do w/ Harvin’s departure in Seattle. (1/2)

The details get even more specific, claiming that Harvin got into an altercation with fellow wide receiver Golden Tate ahead of Super Bowl XLVIII.
History of confrontations w/ teammates contd in SEA according to my guy including punching G Tate during SB week & near fight w/ #3 in ‘14

I was told “Harvin’s anger issues are just too much to deal with and he could single handedly bring down team chemistry”. Wow. Unreal.

I was told “Go find a team picture from Super Bowl and you can still see part of the black eye Tate got from Harvin"

Looks like there could be some evidence to support the claim.
