Packers Sign Mecole Hardman to Bolster Wide Receiver Depth and Special Teams

The former Chiefs wideout and return specialist joins Green Bay on a one-year deal as the team addresses gaps left by injuries and roster shifts.

Mecole Hardman has signed a one-year contract with the Green Bay Packers, as first reported by ESPN.
The Packers aim to strengthen their wide receiver group following Christian Watson's ACL injury, which is expected to sideline him for much of the 2025 season.
Hardman, a three-time Super Bowl champion with the Kansas City Chiefs, brings speed and versatility to both offense and special teams.
He offers experience as a return specialist, with career averages of 23.8 yards per kick return and 9.2 yards per punt return.
The signing also addresses a special teams need as All-Pro returner Keisean Nixon transitions to focus on his defensive role.
