After signing with New York following four years in Kansas City, the speedy wideout is headed back to a Chiefs team in need of production at the wide receiver spot.
The New York Jets couldn’t find snaps for offseason addition Mecole Hardman. The Kansas City Chiefs have struggled to get production from a mostly inexperienced group of wide receivers.
In a trade that addressed both issues, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes will welcome back an old friend as Hardman is returning to Kansas City, per multiple reports Wednesday, in a deal that also involves a swap of late-round draft picks.A 2019 second-round pick by Kansas City who spent four seasons with the Chiefs and helped them win two Super Bowls, Hardman left in the spring as a free agent and landed in New York on a one-year, $4 million contract.
Mahomes does still have tight end Travis Kelce, allowing the quarterback to still enjoy the services this season of an elite pass-catcher. Kelce’s 10-plus years of experience stand in glaring contrast, however, to a wide receiving corps led by players in their first , second or third seasons. Kansas City does have veteran wide receivers on hand in Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Richie James, but both have rarely played a featured role during their careers.
According to multiple reports Wednesday, Kansas City is sending a sixth-round pick in 2025 to New York for Hardman and a seventh-rounder that year.As the Wizards’ new point guard, Tyus Jones’s job is to talk
