Hardman has been a free agent since Sept. 23. He spent time with the Green Bay Packers this year, but was let go after a practice squad.
A second-team All-Pro selection and Pro Bowl in 2019, Hardman is best known for two stints with the Kansas City Chiefs from 2019-22 and 2023-24. He collected 3 Super Bowl rings in his time with the Chiefs (LIV, LVII and LVIII).
In between his stops in Kansas City, Hardman was a member of the New York Jets in 2023 before a trade back to the Chiefs. In 80 regular-season games, Hardman has 178 catches for 2,302 yards and 16 touchdowns. He has also logged 26 rushes for 190 yards and 3 scores.
Hardman will be seeking to make his 2025 regular-season debut with Buffalo. The Bills host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.
