Mecole Hardman trade reflects the state of the Chiefs' receivers

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Kansas City Chiefs thought they were set at wide receiver heading into the season by bringing back four players who contributed to last year's Super Bowl winning team.

It speaks to just how much this season has deviated from the plan that their leading player at the position is instead a rookie, second-round draft pick Rashee Rice.

They also this week traded for Mecole Hardman, bringing back a player who caught 151 passes and scored 19 touchdowns in four seasons for the Chiefs before leaving as a free agent earlier this year for the New York Jets.
