Mecole Hardman took a free agent visit to Chicago on Monday
The Bears are not done at wide receiver apparently.
After adding Olamide Zaccheaus in free agency, the Bears had receivers Rondale Moore and Mecole Hardman in town for free agent visits Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports. Moore's visit previously was reported.
It appeared Hardman was on his way out of Kansas City when the Chiefs re-signed JuJu Smith-Schuster.
Hardman left for the Jets in free agency a year ago before the Chiefs traded for him in the middle of the year. He played only six games with two starts and caught 14 passes for 118 yards with Kansas City.
He did not play in the postseason.
Hardman caught the game-winning touchdown in overtime of Super Bowl LVIII, delivering the Chiefs a 25-22 victory over the 49ers to end the 2023 season.
In his six NFL seasons, Hardman has appeared in 80 games with 28 starts, catching 178 passes for 2,302 yards and 16 touchdowns.

Kansas City Chiefs HC Andy Reid comments on the team's innovation: 'Keep growing'
Kansas City Chiefs HC Andy Reid comments on the team's innovation: 'Keep growing' During his press conference on Thursday, Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid discussed the importance of staying innovative and unpredictable. "I think every coach would probably tell you that, but I think it's important that you keep growing," said Reid, "There are some lessons (that) you can learn out of that, and I told you before (that) I thought the attitude that they had coming out of that (Super Bowl LIX loss), I look for that. 'Are you going to take responsibility?' These guys took responsibility for it. That gives you an opportunity to improve – coaches and players. If you come in and start pointing the finger at each other, you can't grow, but these guys have done that and have had a great attitude this offseason." The Chiefs are consistently praised for their coaching staff's willingness to expand their playbooks and take calculated risks. Head coach Andy Reid's offense will have more opportunities to showcase its strengths, while Steve Spagnuolo's defensive vision for the unit is evolving. The offseason workout practices allow players to create and implement these new ideas.
