Chiefs star Mecole Hardman shocked everyone by leaving the team to join the Green Bay Packers on a one-year deal. Even though the contract is short, it’s getting a lot of attention because Hardman chose to leave the Super Bowl 59 runner-up team.
Mecole Hardman started his career with the Chiefs and quickly made a name for himself. He was part of the team that won a Super Bowl in his rookie year and went on to earn two more Super Bowl rings.
Even though that sounds impressive, his personal stats weren’t that great. He had just 90 receiving yards and no touchdowns last season, which isn’t ideal for a wide receiver.

According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Hardman has signed a one-year deal with the Green Bay Packers to add some speed to their receiving lineup. The exact details of the contract aren’t out yet, but head coach Matt LaFleur now has a quick and dynamic player to work with.
After signing with the Packers, Hardman shared the news on Instagram with a heartfelt note from his wife, showing how he’s embracing this new chapter in his career.
