The Green Bay Packers have made a bit of a surprise move, deciding to release wide receiver Mecole Hardman, per FOX’s Jordan Schultz. The three-time Super Bowl champion signed with the franchise this past offseason, inking a one-year, $1.5 million deal.
Hardman played in just 12 games last season, not making too big of a contribution with the Kansas City Chiefs. On 14 targets, 12 of them resulted in catches for 90 yards. There was some efficiency in those receptions, with half of them resulting in first downs for his team.
It wasn’t all for naught though, as Kansas City did use Hardman on special teams at times. However, the final five games of the regular season saw Hardman watching from the sideline. He did not record a playoff appearance as the Chiefs made another run to the Super Bowl, before losing to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Still, he’ll forever be remember fondly in Kansas City, after famously making the game-winning catch to win Super Bowl LVIII in overtime. He was hoping for a bigger role to be carved out for him in Green Bay, but it looks like his time with the Packers has come and gone with a whimper.
