Bills sign Chiefs Super Bowl hero wide receiver amidst offensive struggles image

The Buffalo Bills have been struggling on offense. Specifically, Buffalo's wide receivers have played very poorly over the season, and most recently in the Bills' Week 10 loss to the Miami Dolphins. Josh Allen had over 3.5 seconds to throw, on average, and yet the Bills couldn't move the ball through the air because no one would get open.

In light of the offensive shortcomings, the Bills are signing a Super Bowl winner to their practice squad. Per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, the Bills are signing Mecole Hardman to the practice squad.

Hardman was drafted by the Chiefs in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft, where he came in and made an immediate impact. He was a Pro Bowler in 2019, becoming an instant factor for a team that would go on to win the Super Bowl that season.

Hardman was part of all three Chiefs Super Bowl teams, most notably catching the game-winner against the 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII to give the Chiefs their third title of the Patrick Mahomes era. He was signed by the Packers in March, but didn't appear in any games with Green Bay before being released in late September.

Considering all of the Bills' issues, turning over every stone can't hurt. Hardman has 178 career receptions for just over 2,300 yards and 16 touchdowns.
