The Patriots are trading WR Ja'Lynn Polk to the Saints for a swap of draft picks, according to Dianna Russini of The Athletic. New England is sending a 2028 seventh-rounder with Polk and getting a 2027 sixth-rounder in return.

The Patriots put Polk in season-ending IR ahead of the season for a shoulder injury that required surgery. The 23-year-old arrived as a second-round pick in 2024.
Odds still stand against Polk rebounding to make any fantasy impact. There's potential opportunity, though.
