NFL Notes: Haloti Ngata, Percy Harvin, Bengals, Jets, Ravens & Redskins

Haloti Ngata

• Jason La Canfora suspects that, “barring some significant progress“, NT Haloti Ngata has played his last game with the Ravens.

Percy Harvin

Jason La Canfora discusses the permutations surrounding WR Percy Harvin, whom the Jets have until March 19th to decide on.

• La Canfora hears that Harvin will not take a pay cut, and thus, he will be owed $10.5 million if he plays for the Jets in 2015.
• La Canfora suspects that the Jets will part ways with Harvin, and Harvin will sign a one-year deal with a team that has a quality quarterback situation, so that he can reestablish his value and seek a long-term deal in 2016.
• If Harvin does in fact leave New York, Seattle will receive a sixth-round pick pursuant to the earlier trade, rather than a fourth rounder.
• La Canfora brings up the Patriots, as a team that has had success breathing new life into veteran careers.
• Bills free agent RB C.J. Spiller could be a candidate to replace Harvin in New York, as he possesses a lot of similar skills.

Bengals

• Coley Harvey of ESPN doesn’t think the Bengals should sign either of the recently released wide receiver/kick returners-Ted Ginn Jr. or Jacoby Jones-because of the depth in this year’s draft class.

Jets

Jason La Canfora also touches on how the Jets could improve their secondary.

• La Canfora writes that the Jets would “pounce” on free agent CB Antonio Cromartie in the event that they fail to sign CB Darrelle Revis.
• Cromartie would cost significantly less than Revis, allowing the Jets to sign additional help in the secondary.
• La Canfora adds that it appears unlikely Revis will end up in New York, and that New England will do what it takes to keep him.

Ravens

• The Ravens are expected to work out a deal with CB Lardarius Webb, though the team needs to restructure his deal for cap relief. (Jason La Canfora)

Redskins

• There has been no talk indicating that the Redskins intend to do anything with WR Pierre Garcon‘s contract. (John Keim)
