The Patriots, who currently have 12 WRs, are likely to keep six on their regular-season roster, leaving Polk’s future very much in doubt:
“Veterans Stefon Diggs and Mack Hollins, third-year slot DeMario Douglas, and 2025 third-round pick Kyle Williams are viewed as safe. So that leaves a projected two spots for the remaining group that includes nine-year veteran Kendrick Bourne, third-year pro Boutte, 2024 draft picks Ja’Lynn Polk (second round) and Javon Baker(fourth round), and undrafted free agent Efton Chism III, among others.”
Polk, 23, is coming off an underwhelming rookie season in which he caught 12 passes for 87 yards and 2 TDs.
The 2024 second-round pick will have to put together a strong training camp, especially with a new staff in place.
