"Polk struggled to produce as a rookie after the Patriots took him in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft (No. 37 overall). He only had 12 receptions for 87 yards and two touchdowns last season, making a handful of costly drops and miscues throughout the 2024 campaign. On top of the poor performance, Polk seemingly made things more complicated for himself with some of the comments he made throughout the season."
"He proclaimed that he had the best hands in the league at one point last season. After Jerod Mayo called Polk out following the Patriots' loss to the Jaguars, Polk made a cryptic social media post that some interpreted as him wanting to leave the team."
The Patriots traded wide receiver Ja'Lynn Polk to the Saints in exchange for a 2027 sixth-round pick while sending a 2028 seventh-round selection. Polk struggled as a rookie after being selected No. 37 overall in the 2024 draft, totaling 12 receptions for 87 yards and two touchdowns and committing several costly drops and miscues. Polk made controversial comments about his abilities and posted a cryptic social-media message after being publicly called out by Jerod Mayo. Polk suffered a preseason shoulder injury and was placed on injured reserve, ending his 2025 season. Polk still has two seasons left on his rookie contract, and the move leaves only two players from the 2024 draft class on the roster.
