Jets Ship Wide Receiver Mecole Hardman Back to Chiefs

By Glenn Naughton Posted On October 18, 2023

Jets wide receiver Mecole Hardman, who has done little more than take up a roster spot since arriving in New York, is heading back to where he started. It seems Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes have some use for a player that the Jets didn’t as the Chiefs are sending a 2025 6th round pick to the Jets for Hardman and a 2025 7th.

Hardman signed a one-year deal worth $4 million but hasn’t been able to find the field since the season started. It would seem the Jets had a plan for Hardman when he was signed but couldn’t figure out what to do with him once Aaron Rodgers was knocked out for the season with a torn achilles.

The New York Jets may have a problem. Sitting at just $9 million under the salary cap and still needing to sign their entire rookie class, it's possible they're missing out on the opportunity to add a key free agent who is still without a team.
