Hardman was still a member of the Jets for those games, making it a significant allegation.Jets star cornerback Sauce Gardner originally introduced that thought Solomon Hill Jersey Wednesday, , formerly known as Twitter, “We ain’t gon talk about how our offensive gameplan got leaked vs. the Eagles tho,” with a frowning emoji.Hardman jumped back into the conversation Friday on X.”There were FALSE accusations made about me and MY CHARACTER!,” .”To set the record straight, I have never and would never leak gameplans to another team. I have never been a person to give an opponent an upper hand I always want to win no matter the circumstances!!!!!”Following the Jets’ Week 6 lo s, Hardman was traded to the Chiefs.

Its Jimmy Butler Jersey Aaron Rodgers’ show. Let Aaron do what Aaron does.’ Then when Aaron goes down, its like, ‘We dont know what to do.'”MORE:Hardman was also quick to point out the team succe s that he’s had compared to the players in the Jets’ locker room, stating they don’t know what a winning culture looks like.”Yall cant tell me about winning,” Hardman said. “Ive been to four Super Bowls in five years. I know what winning looks like. I know what winning is y’all not doing it right. We got helmets on the ground, we dont got no discipline … Its too many individual egos in this locker room … thats not gonna get y’all to win.”Hardman admitted that he was mentally checked out of New York four weeks into the season and that he told Chiefs GM Brett Veach and star quarterback Patrick Mahomes Chris Silva Jersey to “come get me.”The 25-year-old receiver is set to hit unrestricted free agency again this offseason, and he already made it clear that “No, I won’t go back to the Jets,” he stated plainly on “NFL Total Acce s.”
