The Seattle Seahawks don't regret trading Percy Harvin to the New York Jets in the middle of the 2014 regular season.

"Percy is a unique player, so you have to use him in a unique fashion," Seahawks general manager John Schneider said during Media Day on Tuesday. "So, we kind of just got back to playing more basic: Run the ball and hammer it out, read- option. Getting back to a little bit more up field instead of horizontal."

Harvin's sometimes rocky relationship with a few teammates came to light in the wake of the trade, but Schneider admitted it wasn't easy to part ways with such an explosive talent.

"It was difficult, but we had talked to ownership about it," Schneider said. "When you have support of the ownership, it makes it that much easier. So, he knew there were several reasons why it may not work out. As long as we're communicating with ownership in that regard and explaining why it didn't work out, it's much easier to do than waking up in the morning and saying, 'Hey, we're going to do this.'"
