I noted that a trade for Hardman would be like the Ingram trade.
"Why didn't we just sign Ingram when he was a free agent!?!" well we couldn't afford him. But by letting the Steelers sign him and pay his signing bonus, we knocked 2/3 of his cap it off our cap and onto theirs.
We traded a 6th round pick for cap space. There are worse ways to use those.
If a trade pick trade (or equally likely a late round pick swap) puts Hardman's signing bonus on the Jets cap instead of ours - bully. That's a fine use of the pick.
