Mecole Hardman: I just want to play whether it’s with Jets or someone else

When the Jets signed wide receiver Mecole Hardman as a free agent this offseason, there were hopes that he would have a significant role on offense and in the return game during the regular season.

However, things have not turned out as expected. Rookie Xavier Gipson has taken over the returner job, and Hardman has only played 22 offensive snaps before being unexpectedly left out of the lineup in Denver last weekend. In light of this, it comes as no surprise that there are reports suggesting the Jets are considering trading Hardman before the October 31 deadline.

When asked about the possibility of a trade, Hardman responded, “I simply want to play and get on the field. Whether it’s here or somewhere else, that’s not up to me. It depends. If it works out for both sides, I don’t know. I’ve never been a part of this situation before.”

Hardman then took to social media to express his thoughts more cryptically, stating that he can’t wait for the opportunity to share something with everyone, unrelated to his current situation. It seems that a change of scenery might be the best solution for Hardman after his disappointment with the Jets.
