The Seattle Seahawks completed their trade with Minnesota on Tuesday to acquire wide receiver Percy Harvin in exchange for a trio of draft picks.

Seattle announced the finalization of the trade once the NFL's league year began. Harvin passed his physical and was to be introduced at the team's facility later Tuesday.

The 24-year-old Harvin will give second-year quarterback Russell Wilson a dynamic playmaker not yet at his peak and reunite him with former teammate Sidney Rice and former offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell.

Seattle will send its first-round pick - No. 25 overall - this season to the Vikings, along with one of three seventh-round selections and its third-round pick in 2014 in exchange for Harvin, who was producing at an All-Pro level until badly spraining his left ankle last Nov. 4 in a game at Seattle. He was placed on injured reserve a month later, abruptly ending a season that began so strongly. He led the NFL in total yards, including rushing, receiving and returning, at the time of his injury.

Harvin finished last season with 62 receptions for 677 yards and three touchdowns in nine games. In 2011, when Harvin was selected to the Pro Bowl, he had 967 yards receiving, 345 yards rushing and eight total touchdowns.

Now he joins an offense that already features Wilson, Rice, Marshawn Lynch, Golden Tate, Zach Miller and Doug Baldwin.

The amount of picks being surrendered by Seattle is a heavy price for a team that has thrived by finding draft gems under coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider. Whether it was getting Wilson in the third round last year, or nabbing cornerback Richard Sherman and safety Kam Chancellor as fifth-round selections, the draft has proved bountiful for the Seahawks.

Seattle will still have eight selections in April's draft, barring any other moves made to acquire picks.

The trade for Harvin likely means the end for Pro Bowl returner Leon Washington with the Seahawks. There was no official announcement from the team, but Washington tweeted Tuesday afternoon that, "it's been (an) awesome ride," in Seattle.

While Washington was a Pro Bowl selection, Harvin was even more dynamic in the return game. Harvin averaged 35.9 yards per kick return last season before getting injured.
