Ja’Lynn Polk Is On The Roster Bubble In New England
Ja’Lynn Polk Is On The Roster Bubble In New England
The decision to pass on Ladd McConkey in favor of Ja’Lynn Polk continues to look dumber by the day. Before I start, let’s just first recognize that none of this is hindsight bias. The Polk pick was idiotic from day one, and he may find his way off the roster sooner rather than later.
Mike Reiss is more tapped into the Patriots than any other media member out there. Reiss indicates that Polk is very much on the roster bubble in New England and could be cut once the 53-man roster takes shape.
“Will any wide receivers separate from the pack in mandatory camp?“
“The numbers bear watching, with Kayshon Boutte noting that the Patriots have 12 and, likely, only six will be on the initial roster.”
“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.”
“Spring is often about building momentum for the start of training camp in late July, and each within that group has done something notable to set the stage for what looks like a spirited competition. — Mike Reiss“
By the way, it also sounds like Javon Baker could be cut, too. No hindsight bias involved. The Patriots pissed away that 2024 class after the Drake Maye pick and it shows.
