Congrats to him on a nice payday, He wont sniff the playoffs.

If the Jets get Rodgers, they are making the playoffs outside being decimated by injuries.

Yea if Rodgers goes there you can argue they are better than Buffalo.

Or he could keep his car, live in a nice rental in Florham Park and still be to work in 30mins.

I am not even hating on Hardman jumping ship to the NYJ. I just question if that was the best decision for him long term as he might get buried on their depth chart.

He bet on himself and I like that. Whether we view it as fans the best decision to make is only coming from a perspective of limited view.

If the Jets were to post June 1 Mosely and Lawson that saves them 32 million dollars.

Correct. He bet on himself. Now let’s see if it pays off.

Does that matter for a professional football player, unless he's literally blown all his previous money?

Well, if you're making 6m, and the house is 4m in NY but would be 1.5m in KC, yeah, I would think that is significant.

He's not buying a house there when it's 1 year...

I think Mecole has always seen himself as a #1 WR. He has convinced himself that the fact he is not, is someone else's fault.

The Chiefs have an opening at the #1 spot, the Jets do not. If you believed you are capable why would you not seize the opportunity right in front of you?

He is not making good decisions which has likely been his problem all along.

The decision to NOT work out with Mahomes and all the other WRs is a perfect example. Bad decision.

He had to learn something while he was here. I do think he was improving, even if it was slowly.

He feels like this was a good move and maybe it was. Maybe the Jets allow him to be more of a WR and maybe he blossoms.

I appreciate what he did for us and wish him luck!

Damn, you dumb as shit bro. The guy hadn't missed a game in 3 years until this season.

Yeah, buying a penthouse in New York is dumb unless you have Jennifer Lopez money.

He can rent an apartment in Hoboken at a price affordable to an NFL player.

These stats over 4 years are well below expectations and average at best.

His jet sweeps and sudden breakaways will be missed, not much else.

Why are you making this assumption?

#1 no one is buying a house with a 1 year contract. #2 highly doubtful he lives in NY.
