Overall, not a bad deal at all for the Jets. Coming off his injuries, there was some concern on Hardman, but even at $6.5 million if the contract goes all the way, that’s not a bad value at all for the team and Hardman gets a chance to shake off the injury concerns and become a free again in 2024.
There are also four void years added to the contract, so his cap number for this season should come in somewhere around $1.5 million.
