The Green Bay Packers and Aaron Rodgers are gearing up for the 2024 season with high hopes for a championship. Building on their achievements in 2023, the Packers aim to maintain their momentum, while the Jets are eager to see their four-time MVP quarterback, Rodgers, on the field consistently throughout the season.
Despite this optimism, there’s one former teammate who has no intention of rejoining the Jets or reuniting with Aaron Rodgers.
Heading into free agency this offseason, Mecole Hardman finds himself uncertain about his future. One thing he’s certain of, though, is that he won’t be returning to New York.
After departing from the Kansas City Chiefs in free agency last year, Hardman inked a one-year contract with the Jets, valued at up to $4 million, with almost $3.6 million guaranteed. Despite this, the Jets’ fan base was left disheartened by the season’s performance, and whether Hardman contributed to that sentiment remains ambiguous.
While Rodgers’ early-season injury undoubtedly hampered the Jets’ progress, the team struggled to find support elsewhere throughout the season. Hardman is adamant about not revisiting that situation.
Nevertheless, Rodgers and the Jets still have a roster boasting several talented wide receivers for the upcoming season. Garrett Wilson stands out as their primary option, while the potential resurgence of Allen Lazard alongside Rodgers could prove significant.
