\"Packers<\/p>\n

The Green Bay Packers want to win a Super Bowl, just like every other team in the NFL.<\/p>\n

This offseason, they paid a small price that they feel might help get them there.<\/p>\n

For just $1.5 million, the Packers signed Mecole Hardman.<\/p>\n

The speedy receiver and return man has played 89 of his 94 NFL games for the Chiefs. He knows winning.<\/p>\n

“Just being able to have that experience — I actually have gone to the end game — and having to win it, I think that goes a long way, especially for the younger guys to see that,” Hardman told The Athletic’s Matt Schneidman. “I’m glad I can give that experience to them and let them know what it took and what it’s going to take.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Packers have a super crowded receiver room, and Hardman is the oldest of the bunch among Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, Dontayvion Wicks and rookies Matthew Golden and Savion Williams.<\/p>\n

Hardman’s best chance to get on the field might be in the return game.<\/p>\n

\u201cHey, I ain’t gonna lie. I didn’t know I was gonna be the oldest in the room,\u201d Hardman told reporters. \u201cI’m getting old, man. Year 7 is getting crazy. But I think just being able to get there, and the work that was put in to get there; I think just being able to relate that to the guys, especially when times get hard or you’re not feeling so well, or you’re hurting or whatever.”<\/p>\n

No matter what Hardman’s final role ends up being, it was a smart addition by Green Bay.<\/p>\n

They didn’t have to pay much in the grand scheme of NFL money, and they added a huge leadership presence.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
