Lazard first will probably be uncovered to waivers. At a base wage of $1.75 million, the prorated worth for the ultimate three weeks will probably be $291,667. The crew that efficiently claims him, if any, will choose up that accountability.
In 10 video games this season, Lazard has caught 10 passes for 70 yards and a landing. The Jets persuaded him to redo his contract and stick round for 2025, regardless of the departure of Rodgers. Now that it is over for the Jets (and has been), Lazard will get a shot at a recent begin.
Lazard initially signed a four-year, $44 million contract with the Jets in 2023, the identical yr Rodgers arrived. Whether or not Rodgers pushes for Lazard in Pittsburgh stays to be seen.
On Monday night time, Rodgers related with former Packers teammate Marquez Valdes-Scantling for 19-yard landing, in Valdes-Scantling’s first look with the Steelers.
Because the Steelers make their last push for the playoffs, Rodgers could also be extra snug having receivers with whom he is extra acquainted. Lazard is among the gamers on that very brief record.
