Hardman played his first four years of professional ball in Kansas City. The previous summer, he inked a one-year, $6.5 million deal with the Jets, where he became one of Aaron Rodgers&#8217; best passing-game options.<\/p>\n<h2>Mecole Hardman Reveals His Tenure With Jets: \u2018No standard there\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>Naturally, that is not how things turned out. Only four plays into the Jets&#8217; season, Rodgers suffered an injury, and Hardman was not even close to playing a full-time role. His just 28 offensive snaps in six games with New York represents a 10% usage rate. Hardman had only played 16 snaps in three games by the time the Jets faced the Chiefs in Week Four.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s no standard there,&#8221; Hardman said about the Jets during an appearance on &#8220;The Pivot&#8221; podcast.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">mecole hardman on what went wrong with the jets. interesting listen. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cy\u2019all can\u2019t tell me about winning. i\u2019ve been to 4 superbowls in 5 years. i know what winning looks like. i know what winning is\u2026 yall not doing it right. we got helmets on the ground, we don\u2019t got no\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/DbYuYTuPQd\">pic.twitter.com\/DbYuYTuPQd<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Aly (Thibodeaux Enthusiast) (@amiablexaly) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/amiablexaly\/status\/1762614075781943405?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 27, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Hardman joined the Jets in March 2023, but in five games, he only had one reception for six yards. Before raising another Lombardi Trophy earlier this month, he was traded back to the Chiefs in October, where he played for the first four years of his career and won two Super Bowls (in 2019 and 2022).<\/p>\n<p>As a free agent going forward, Hardman stated that he has learnt from his experience with the Jets to choose a team where he &#8220;can consistently be on the field&#8221; over a large salary.<\/p>\n<p>After signing a one-year contract with the Jets in the summer, Hardman was scarcely used; in five games, he had only one reception before returning to Kansas City.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/MecoleHardman4\/status\/1762887479344968175<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the lies and the way they handled me.

A player that you paid at that. \u2026 I play one play, oh hell no. Something got to shake bro, like what we talking about bro.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But some of his harshest comments came about the lack of standards with the team\u2019s offense overall.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou just got a new [offensive] coaching staff that came in and there\u2019s no standard there. Everybody does what they want to do,\u201d he said. \u201cGranted, the defense has more of a stabilized standard with the coaching staff on that side, so the defense has a standard.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Never had talks with KC before the trade, so we can CLEAR THAT UP!
