Mecole Hardman has signed a one-year deal with the Green Bay Packers that includes just $150,000 guaranteed as a signing bonus. His contract, totaling nearly $1.5 million, indicates he may not be a sure bet for the 53-man roster. Hardman, a three-time Super Bowl champion, will compete for a role as a playmaker and return specialist, but if he doesn't make the cut, the Packers will incur minimal financial loss.

Hardman's contract has one of the lowest guarantees among free agent receivers this offseason, reflecting the Packers' low-risk approach. Although his impact may be limited, he presents a chance to add depth to a Packers team looking to bolster its receiving corps and special teams.
