Ja’Lynn Polk has signed with The Familie for on-field representation. Agent Cleo Floyd will lead his representation, alongside Bryan Miller.
Polk, 24, enters this partnership at a pivotal career crossroads. The Lufkin, Texas native was a second-round selection by the New England Patriots, who took him 37th overall in the 2024 NFL Draft.
He entered the league following a standout career at Washington, where he recorded 69 receptions for 1,159 yards. This yardage total ranks as the sixth-highest in Huskies history and was instrumental in leading the program to the College Football Playoff National Championship.
His rookie season in New England yielded 12 catches for 87 yards and two touchdowns across 15 games. In September 2025, he was traded to the New Orleans Saints, though a shoulder injury kept him sidelined all season. He was activated off IR in February 2026 and is now fully focused on making his Saints debut.
Similar to how other young NFL standouts have recently locked in professional guidance, like Cowboys LB DeMarvion Overshown and pass rusher Rueben Bain Jr., who both secured new representation ahead of critical career seasons, Polk is making his move ahead of what New Orleans expects to be a breakout 2026 campaign.
The Familie, founded by Steve Astephen, has steadily grown its NFL on-field footprint since expanding its football division. The agency represents clients across sports and entertainment, and has built a reputation for boutique, personalized player management.
Takeaways
This signing tells a clear story. Polk is treating 2026 like Year 1. Coming off a lost season and a franchise change, landing structured, dedicated representation at The Familie signals he’s thinking long-term.
The Saints coaching staff has already praised his work ethic and fit in the locker room, and with a receiver corps that has room for a legitimate No. 2 option, the timing of this agency move couldn’t be smarter.
Cleo Floyd taking the lead on his representation adds a sharp, invested advocate in his corner right before what could be his most consequential NFL stretch yet.
Can Polk’s elite hands and contested-catch ability, traits the Saints specifically coveted, finally translate into consistent NFL production in 2026? Does strong agency representation at this stage give Polk a meaningful edge as he approaches a potential contract extension year?
