The New York Jets continued to add weapons on the offensive side of the ball ahead of a potential trade for quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
Shortly after trading wide receiver Elijah Moore to the Cleveland Browns on Wednesday, reports surfaced on Mecole Hardman and the Jets agreed to a one-year contract. The deal is believed to be worth up to $6.5 million, NFL Network reported.
ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter took to Twitter and joked that the Jets got a player who can run jet sweeps for them.
Hardman saw that apparent diss and fired right back at him.
“Way “MORE” than jet sweeps!” he said.
The former Georgia football star spent his first four seasons in the league with the Chiefs after he was drafted in the second round in 2019. He would go on to win two Super Bowls with the Chiefs and received All-Pro honors after his standout rookie season.

He has racked up 2,088 receiving yards on 151 catches so far in his career.
Hardman had to work his way through injury during his 2022 campaign. It hurt him the most when he couldn’t play in Super Bowl LVII against the Eagles. His limited time on the football field resulted in career lows in receptions and receiving yards last year.
If Healthy, he has a chance to put up incredible numbers alongside Aaron Rodgers.
