Overview
- Buffalo signed the veteran wide receiver to its practice squad, as first reported by ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler and echoed by multiple outlets.
- Hardman is a three-time Super Bowl winner from his Kansas City tenure and caught the overtime winner in Super Bowl LVIII.
- He profiles as a deep threat and return specialist, offering potential special-teams help without a guaranteed promotion to the 53-man roster.
- Recent stops include a brief Jets stint in 2023, a return to the Chiefs, and the Packers’ practice squad in 2025 before a September release, with modest production over the past two seasons.
- The signing follows mounting scrutiny of Buffalo’s passing game and comes after the team failed to land a receiver at the trade deadline, including a reported pursuit of Miami’s Jaylen Waddle.
