The Patriots have officially signed rookie receiver Ja’Lynn Polk to his contract, completing the signings for the team’s entire draft class before the start of training camp. The deal reportedly includes a $3.87 million signing bonus, as reported by Aaron Wilson of KPRC2.

The Patriots used their No. 3 pick to select quarterback Drake Maye, who is expected to take on a prominent role in the near future. The team explored options in free agency, including pursuing Calvin Ridley, but ultimately made a notable addition in K.J. Osborn.

In addition to Polk, the Patriots’ receiving corps now includes experienced players like JuJu Smith-Schuster and Kendrick Bourne, along with recent draftees Tyquan Thornton, Kayshon Boutte, and Demario Douglas. Coming from Washington, Polk aims to make an immediate impact after showcasing his skills with impressive numbers in college.

During his time at Washington, Polk stood out with his performance, recording notable stats and proving himself as a reliable option in the passing game. The Patriots hope that Polk, along with fellow rookie Javon Baker, will provide a boost to their offense and help improve their rankings from the previous season.

Below is a summary of the Patriots’ draft picks:

  • Round 1, No. 3: Drake Maye (QB, UNC) (signed)
  • Round 2, No. 37 (via Chargers): Ja’Lynn Polk (WR, Washington) (signed)
  • Round 3, No. 68: Caeden Wallace (T, Penn State) (signed)
  • Round 4, No. 103: Layden Robinson (G, Texas A&M) (signed)
  • Round 5, No. 110 (from Bears through Chargers): Javon Baker (WR, UCF) (signed)

  • Round 7, No. 231 (from Bears): Jaheim Bell (TE, Florida State) (signed)
