A split between the New England Patriots and wide receiver N’Keal Harry seemed to be inevitable after the former first-round pick failed to catch on in three seasons. And ahead of training camp, the Patriots have finally found a suitor for the wideout.
According to NFL Network, the Patriots traded Harry to the Bears for a seventh-round pick in 2024. Essentially, it’s the lowest return the Patriots could have gotten for Harry. His chances of making the 53-man roster were slim anyway, so Bill Belichick is probably happy to get anything in exchange for him at this point in the offseason.

In three years, Harry caught 57 passes for 598 yards and scored just four touchdowns – two each in 2019 and 2020. He only started 18 games and never had a catch rate above 58% in a single season.
His best game came in 2020 when he caught eight passes for 72 yards, but he never topped that yardage total and that was his only game with at least six catches.
