Harry was the Patriots' first-round pick (32nd overall) in 2019. He has been a draft bust so far with just 57 receptions for 598 yards and four touchdowns over three pro seasons.
The former Arizona State wideout requested a trade in 2021 but the Patriots ended up keeping him through the season. Harry played in 12 games and caught 12 passes for 184 yards and zero touchdowns.
At this point, it makes sense for both the Patriots and Harry to part ways. The most logical return for Harry is a late-round pick, which is why Day 3 of the draft would be a good time to trade him.
