The Buffalo Bills are releasing veteran wide receiver Mecole Hardman as they finalize their roster to 53 players, according to Jeremy Fowler. Hardman, a former second-round pick by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2019, signed a one-year, $4 million contract with the New York Jets in 2023 before being traded back to the Chiefs. He later had brief stints with the Packers and the Bills, appearing in only two games for Buffalo in 2025. Hardman’s release marks another transition in his career following multiple team changes over the years.
