Chargers' Ladd McConkey trade somehow just got even better

As Los Angeles Chargers' second round pick Ladd McConkey has developed into one of the most exciting young receivers in the NFL, fans of the team have already had ample opportunity to laugh at the New England Patriots' decision to essentially give McConkey away in exchange for Ja'Lynn Polk and a fourth-round pick.

However, with the recent news that the Patriots are trading Polk to the New Orleans Saints in exchange for a late-round pick swap, the original deal has become even more lopsided, and fans of the Chargers have even more reason to rejoice.

Now, as McConkey stands poised to be Los Angeles's most important offensive player apart from Justin Herbert on their run for a playoff spot, New England stands in shambles without the benefit of an ascending young receiver.
