He's also known for his lack of patience with WRs too, so none of that bodes well for Mecole. Especially in a year where he's trying to learn a new scheme as well. Hell even Mahomes used to get furious with him.

As we all know the guy isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.

I have to believe the Chiefs were essentially offering him Richie James money to play the Richie James role.

Or there would've been no reason at all for him to not stay and try to rehabilitate his market value.

I'd have been willing to go to 4-5 million on a 1-yr deal to keep him. But in the end he decided not to bet on himself and get the most he could up front. It's his call, but yeah - I think it was a massive mistake.

(Side note: I still hope the Jets cut Corey Davis and we bring him in then turf Justin Watson)

Forgot Corey Davis even existed on that roster.

Yeah, Hardman is buried. No chance. Im guessing he didnt see this coming.
[Reply]

I think Mecole may feel that KC held him back. Because he’s dumb.

Remember when Mecole kept saying to reporters he will be gtg next week (after reinjuring his groin) and then Andy said the complete opposite and the team put him on IR shortly after?

I wonder if there’s more to that.

Hardman is a track star playing football. He’s not a football player
[Reply]

Of course he didn’t.

I hope he has saved a lot of his NFL money…if he doesn’t regain that elite speed…what else does he legit bring to a team?
[Reply]

He would have been better off in Cleveland.
[Reply]

Eh, if Davis gets cut, probably not 'buried'.

But yeah, if the keep Davis, it's tough sledding.
[Reply]

Wasn’t Mims. High pick there too what happened to him.

Rodgers will want Cobb on the field, that's all that will matter sadly for Mecole.
[Reply]

Yup.

And good lord, can you IMAGINE how Rodgers is going to treat Hardman? Mahomes has the patience of an oyster and even he got frustrated with Mecole at times.

Rodgers will have Hardman iced out by week 3.
[Reply]

Mmmhmmm.

He's not a Rodgers guy. He's not getting on the field ahead of Cobb and Lazard, and obviously not ahead of Wilson.
[Reply]

100%, Mecole made a really poor decision here. I'm not sure if the Chiefs actually tried to keep him, but if they did he really screwed himself.

Won't be the least bit shocked if gets let go by midseason. Just another example of a guy thinking Reid and Mahomes were somehow "holding him back" which I just can't comprehend. Just like Reek wasn't getting enough targets. These guys get inflated egos because of all the success, not realizing it's Pat, Andy and Trav that really make this thing go.
[Reply]

Not a chance in hell he gets cut, and the whole "They were holding me back" is a quote totally taken out of context and not really what he said, yet Chiefs fans ran with it anyway.

He's not a bad guy. He's not a bad player either. Ya'll need to stop trying to soil the man's character.
[Reply]

I'm not trying to soil anything, I actually wanted him back. I'm just saying if the Chiefs were trying to keep him and he thought this was a better choice, he made a huge mistake. I don't think anything ever came out regarding whether he got an offer at all, though, so it could be a moot point.

If he's iced out by Rodgers early on, he very well could end up asking for his release. If he's not playing enough he's going to get frustrated, and my money is on him getting relegated to gadget plays and punt returns, which is exactly what he didn't want while playing on a one year deal. We'll see.
