Patriots: 3 trade destinations for struggling N’Keal Harry

2. Washington Football Team
N’Keal Harry could jumpstart his career as the No. 2 option in Washington.
How many times have we seen a struggling high draft pick’s career take off after a move away from the organization that selected them? We’ve honestly lost count and the same could happen for Harry, who we are obviously rooting for despite his lack of production with the Patriots.
The Washington Football Team comes to mind as a realistic destination for Harry in that they are in need of a wide receiver and he would fit right into their youth movement. Outside of second-year stud Terry McLaurin, there really isn’t another viable pass-catching option in Washington’s offense.
For context, McLaurin currently ranks first on the team with 73 receptions for 1,001 yards. Their second-leading receiver, veteran tight end Logan Thomas, has 532 fewer (!) receiving yards. Think about how preposterous that sounds. Making a move for Harry would potentially give Washington some much-needed balance to their offense, which already flaunts an elite rushing attack with 2020 third-rounder Antonio Gibson bursting onto the scene in a huge way as a rookie.
Assuming that Washington gets their convoluted quarterback situation sorted out in the offseason, we’d love the idea of Harry jumpstarting his career with one of the NFL’s up-and-coming young teams.
