2019 first-round pick N'Keal Harry requests trade from Patriots

Recently, ESPN's Mike Reiss named New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry as a player who could be cut by the end of the upcoming preseason. 

It appears Harry is taking matters into his own hands. 

Per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, the agent for the 2019 first-round draft pick has requested a trade.

Harry hasn't lived up to expectations. The 23-year-old has recorded only 45 receptions for 414 yards and four touchdowns across his first 21 regular-season games. 

Last week, current New England starting quarterback Cam Newton shared a video of him working out with tight end Jonnu Smith and receiver Jakobi Meyers. Perhaps that was a sign that Harry is out of favor with the Patriots, or maybe agent Jamal Tooson is right in saying his client merely needs a fresh start. 

Harry likely won't be worth much on the market, but the Patriots nevertheless would do well to recover any asset for his services instead of cutting him ahead of Week 1 of the upcoming campaign.
