Alphonso Smith Doesn't Care About Trade Talk

Jun 14, 2014 11:04 PM

Alphonso Smith doesn't care if the Lions are trying to trade him and says he won't care until they actually the pull the trigger on a deal. Smith, selected by the Broncos in the second round of the 2009 draft after Denver shipped a 2010 first-rounder to Seattle, was sent to Detroit after only one season. "Please forgive my frankness," Smith told Dave Dye of FOXSportsDetroit.com. "To be blunt with you, I really didn't care. It didn't happen. It still may happen. You never know. "I don't care about reports or rumors. Only thing I can focus on is I'm a Detroit Lion and I'm a Detroit Lion until I'm not."

Harvin's Trade Request Goes Beyond Contract

Jul 16, 2014 5:25 PM

Percy Harvin seeks a trade from the Vikings, but his contract isn't the only reason for that desire. Jeremy Fowler of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports a desire to replace a rookie deal that covers the next two seasons is not the "sole driving force" behind the wide receiver's request for a new address. Harvin may want more opportunities. Last year, the Vikings faced criticism for not using him enough. Still, he generated 967 yards receiving, 345 yards rushing, and 520 yards on kickoff returns.

Peterson Doesn't Want To See Vikings Lose Harvin

Jul 28, 2014 2:34 PM

Adrian Peterson isn't happy to hear that Vikings wide receiver Percy Harvin has requested a trade. "Whatever the issue is, I'm sure they'll get things squared away," said Peterson, who often trains with Harvin. The All-Pro running back doesn't think the rift between Harvin and the organization is distracting. "Distracting? I wouldn't say distracting," Peterson said. "It's more bothering. We definitely don't want to lose this guy. He put the emphasis on that by saying that. ... I'm sure the organization will do what they have to do to keep this guy around. If it was me, I'd make sure we kept him around."

The Browns tried to trade Colt McCoy during April's NFL Draft, according to a report.
