Allen Lazard opens up with uncertain Jets offseason looming
NY Post
Allen Lazard has no idea whether he’ll be back with the Jets next season.
He also said Thursday it’s “too early to think about” whether he’d even want to be here if quarterback Aaron Rodgers is not.
The Jets signed Lazard to a four-year, $44 million deal, with only the first two years guaranteed, in spring of 2023. About a month later, the Jets traded for Rodgers, whom Lazard considers a mentor.
Very little has gone right for the Jets and Lazard since.
Lazard’s first season in New York was underwhelming. It didn’t help either that Rodgers missed the entire season after injuring his achilles in the 2023 season opener.
Coming off his best season yet with the Packers, Lazard registered only 23 catches on 49 targets for 311 yards and one touchdown and was deactivated for the final two games of the 2023 season.
