If I want to set a precedent with my first (I think) consecutive days of N’Keal Harry posts, the way I see it, I might as well try to start a streak. As long as you have a warm hand, keep pulling. And if you’re cold, keep pulling until you have a warm hand.
Additionally, Harry demands an exchange:
… Is the most blog-worthy thing he has done in a Patriots career that will only stand out with the removal of the trophy as the largest dynasty-era bust. So what the heck. Let’s keep this candle burning.
Whereas a receiver with two years in the league has a career total in catches and yards that equates to about a good month for some of the guys drafted behind it (again I draw your attention to this screenshot from Pro Football Reference):
… And he demands the greatest trainer of all time to weave a whistle around his hand, the reaction to Harry’s “request” has gone as well as expected.
And my favorite:
Patriots proto-linebacker and 3-Ring Club member Ted Johnson went beyond the mere mockery of GIFs and memes, accusing Harry of treating Belichick like Johnny Fontaine did to Mr. Woltz. Making it ridiculous. And a man in his position can’t afford to look silly.
I don’t agree with the premise that Harry is bagging his boss in a way no one has ever done before and all because players feel weakness in a way they wouldn’t. never got to have with Tom Brady here to keep the “ecosystem” in balance. Lots of guys walked through here, found out the hard way they didn’t pack the material to cut it, and left. Albert Haynesworth. Chad Johnson. Cassius Marsh just to offer three quick examples without straining my brain. Harry is just the last.
But if Harry and his agent think it will be easy to move him, they have more to come. As you might expect, there aren’t many market forces that place a high value on a wideout with a year and a half of tape on it. do not open or catch soccer balls. As Adam Smith would explain, the supply of N’Keal Harrys is much larger than the demand for N’Keal Harrys, which drives the price down. At least according to one report:
Phew. A conditional 6th round for a guy who was the 32nd pick in 2019 is like totaling your new car when you still have 36 payments left to make. Except there is no insurance on this one. All you can do is scrap it. Otherwise it’s a total loss.
I repeat that there is no way that GM Bill will accept an ROI like a 6th round, although I agree that is the market for him. I’m going to stick with my original thought that he’s either going to hang on to the guy and give HC Bill one last chance to turn him into an NFL caliber receiver or he’ll return him for somebody’s equally damaged property. ‘another. A prospect who failed elsewhere and could also use a change of location to save their career, like Parris Campbell or (my preference) Andy Isabella.
Either way, one thing we can pretty much guarantee based on the reaction to the swap request, N’Keal Harry didn’t do anything to make anyone miss him when he left.
