The Toronto Argonauts will have to find a suitable replacement for Makai Polk, who is leaving the team after a standout rookie season in the Canadian Football League. Polk has signed with the NFL's Atlanta Falcons, marking a significant step in his professional career. In his inaugural CFL season, he impressed with 1,024 receiving yards, achieving more than 1,000 yards and scoring five touchdowns over 17 regular-season games. His impactful performance also included a notable contribution to the Argonauts' Grey Cup victory.

At just 23 years old, Polk's talent was recognized throughout the season, earning him a spot as an East Division all-star. His playoff performance further solidified his reputation, with 14 receptions totaling 272 yards and a touchdown. The Falcons, who struggled this past season, are hoping to capitalize on Polk's potential as part of their roster rebuilding effort, adding him to a group of players signed to reserve contracts.
