TRADE: Dolphins Trade DE Charles Harris To Falcons For 2021 7th-Rd Pick

The Atlanta Falcons announced Friday that they’ve traded a 2021 seventh-round pick to the Dolphins for DE Charles Harris.

The Falcons will have three days to decide whether or not to pick up Harris’ fifth-year option for the 2021 season. 

The fifth-year option is guaranteed for injury only and wouldn’t have prevented them from negotiating a contract extension in the coming months. It is projected to cost them $10,089,000 for the 2021 season. 

Harris, 25, is a former first-round pick by the Dolphins in the 2017 NFL Draft out of Missouri. He’s entering the final year of his four-year, $10,843,739 rookie contract and is set to earn a base salary of $1,943,692 in 2020. 

In 2019, Harris appeared in 14 games and recorded 23 total tackles, three tackles for loss, and 0.5 of a sack. Pro Football Focus rated him as the No. 76 overall edge defender of 107 qualifying players.
