The Jets have been preparing the team’s conditions to bring in Rodgers. They have spared no expense to bring in a top-notch wide receiver that they’ve pulled from the Chiefs. They have confirmed that they’ll be trading for Mecole Hardman, a relatively young wide receiver from the Chiefs. Interestingly, the Jets have targeted a member of the Super Bowl team to build a team around Rodgers.

Hardman has had a decent career in his 4 years of football. He has gone on to score a total of 20 touchdowns, with a total of 3695 yards. While his performance with the Chiefs had plateaued, a mentor like Rodgers might help the WR blossom into a better player.
Furthermore, fans were very intrigued by this signing. They flooded Twitter with their reactions to how abruptly this decision happened.

This is a fantastic signing. He had some injury troubles last season but that wasn't his normal. He is a burner. This will pay dividends.
