Ja'Lynn Polk had a very disappointing rookie season for the New England Patriots. The second-round pick caught 12 passes for 87 yards and two touchdowns.
His rough season had the media talking about him being a trade candidate for any team willing to take a risk on a talented receiver.
The Atlanta Falcons quickly became a potential landing spot as they enter a promising season led by Polk's college quarterback, Michael Penix Jr.
However, those trade talks have quickly been crushed as the second-year receiver underwent season-ending shoulder surgery.
