Seattle Seahawks

It seems that while Percy Harvin’s attitude was the reason he got shipped to New York, there could be something of a divide in the locker room. According to Bleacher Report’s Mike Freeman, Harvin was shipped off due at least in small part because the team was breaking off into factions.

There’s a lot more too it, so I suggest you read Freeman’s piece.

What I’m most concerned about is whether or not the team will continue to spiral down as it has recently. Sure, the Seahawks looked like they moved on fine after Harvin was shipped off, but they just dropped two games for the first time in a long time.

This team is not doing a good job of holding together post-Super Bowl. Can they recover? They have to start against Carolina.
