Patrick Mahomes will have a familiar face back in the huddle. The Chiefs are acquiring wide receiver Mecole Hardman from the New York Jets. In exchange, the Jets will receive a 2025 sixth-round pick for a 2025 seventh-rounder. The Jets signed Hardman to a one-year, four-million-dollar contract this offseason, but he has only played 28 offensive snaps and caught one pass this season. Kansas City initially selected Hardman in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft out of Georgia. In four seasons with the Chiefs, the 25-year-old caught 151 passes for over two thousand yards and 16 touchdowns.

Mahomes is adding to his post-playing career plans. Mahomes said that he is interested in NFL ownership once he hangs up his cleats. The two-time Super Bowl champion cited Tom Brady, a part-owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, as a recent example of an NFL player dipping their toes into ownership. Mahomes has recently added to his collection of sports franchises by buying into the ownership group of the Alpine Formula One race team. The 28-year-old also has minority ownership in the Kansas City Royals, Sporting KC, and the Kansas City Current of the NWSL.
