Green Bay Packers cut an ex-Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl hero from the practice squad

The Kansas City Chiefs’ front office will notice that a familiar face is available on the market after being cut from the Green Bay Packers’ practice squad.

Mecole Hardman had been a staple of the Chiefs’ offense since he joined the team as a second-round pick in the 2019 NFL draft. He won three Super Bowls with Kansas City and has proven to be one of Patrick Mahomes’ favorite targets in the passing game.

During the offseason, he signed a one-year deal with the Packers but was unable to make the final roster out of training camp. According to reports, the speedy receiver was cut from the practice squad on Tuesday, ending his brief stint in Green Bay.

In 2023, he briefly played for the New York Jets before returning to the Chiefs via a midseason trade, which aided Kansas City’s run to Super Bowl LVIII. Hardman cemented his legacy with the Chiefs by scoring an iconic game-winning touchdown in Kansas City’s victory over the San Francisco 49ers.

In a league where the trade deadline is less a strategic pivot and more a high-stakes poker game fueled by hype and hot takes, San Francisco 49ers General Manager John Lynch just flipped the script. While contenders across the NFL were wheeling and dealing like it was Black Friday at a luxury car dealership, Lynch stared down the chaos, assessed the inflated prices, and… did nothing. Zilch. Nada. The Niners stood pat, preserving their draft capital and cap space like a fortress in a siege.

In a league built on contracts, egos, and statistics, the story of Sam Darnold’s quiet loyalty to the San Francisco 49ers stands out as something almost old-fashioned — a reminder that sometimes, football is still about love for the game and the people you share it with. When reports surfaced that the Niners were exploring trade options for their backup quarterback, few expected any kind of emotional twist. But behind closed doors in Santa Clara, what unfolded was a moment that revealed not just Darnold’s character, but also the kind of culture head coach Kyle Shanahan has cultivated in San Francisco. According to team insiders, Darnold — once a top-three draft pick and a player who has seen the harshest realities of NFL business — offered to take a pay cut if it meant he could remain part of this team, this locker room, this brotherhood.
