Slowly the dust is starting to settle surrounding Percy Harvin’s mysterious trade from the Seahawks to the Jets. As reported earlier, anger problems by Harvin and issues with teammates seemed to play the biggest factor. The only real support amid Havin’s departure came from the oft secluded star running back, Marshawn Lynch.
Rumors have swirled non-stop about an alleged affair between former Seahawk receiver Golden Tate and Russell Wilson’s ex wife Aston. The rumors of an affair between the two are all but new, with Tate even taking to twitter last spring to debunk them last spring:
Btw the ignorant minority of people, bloggers and whoever else spreading ridiculous rumors should cut it out. It’s absurd the stories that

Are being made up from whatever source. In fact Elise and Ashton are still incredible friends , as well as Russ and I.

Finally, I don’t understand why it’s anyone’s business what happens in ones personal life. It’s irrelevant to his performance on the field.

But now the rumors have taken on a new life and relevancy after photos of Golden Tate sporting a black eye before the Super Bowl surfaced and the main culprit for it is no other than Percy Harvin.
While it may be sometime before the ‘smoking gun’ in the story is revealed, things are being connected pretty well. Both the Tate’s and then Wilson’s were good friends and very close, the shiner Tate received is well visible and fits in the time around the divorce and if Marshawn Lynch is the only guy coming to Harvin’s side, you can assume Harvin, too, is a “real” guy who wouldn’t stand for that.
Of course, right now, things are in the rumor phase as we work to be detective to discover why Harvin was abruptly let go.
