The arrival of DeVante Parker is likely to spell the departure of N’Keal Harry. It’s that simple. Parker is the type of player that Harry, a 2019 first-round pick, was supposed to develop into. New England tried — perhaps too long — to develop Harry within their system with plenty of opportunities to earn a spot as the team’s outside receiver. He couldn’t handle it.
So they had to bring in Parker, who joined the Patriots in a trade that sent a third-round pick to the Miami Dolphins in exchange for the receiver and a fifth-round pick.
