The Chicago Bears are going through a dramatic 2025 off-season. They’ve completely revamped the coaching staff, thrown many resources at the offensive and defensive line, and shown Caleb Williams they believe in him as their franchise quarterback.
Now, Chicago could be in line to add a three-time Super Bowl champion.
According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network:
Veteran receivers Mecole Hardman and Rondale Moore visited the #Bears today.
The Bears’ general manager Ryan Poles has a great deal of experience with Hardman from their days with the Kansas City Chiefs. After being drafted in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft out of Georgia, Hardman immediately made an impact for the Chiefs.
During his rookie season, he had 538 receiving yards and six touchdowns. In 2021, Hardman recorded his career high of 693 receiving yards, averaging just under 600 yards each year. Hardman is a three-time Super Bowl champion (LIV, LVII, LVIII)
Here is a look at Hardman’s career stats:
