One other veteran receiver will quickly be obtainable for a reunion with Aaron Rodgers.
Or, in idea, some other group.
Allen Lazard has requested his launch from the Jets, we’re advised. And the Jets can be granting it.
Lazard first can be uncovered to waivers. At a base wage of $1.75 million, the prorated worth for the ultimate three weeks can be $291,667. The group that efficiently claims him, if any, will decide up that duty.
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’s over for the Jets (and has been), Lazard will get a shot at a contemporary 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 evening, 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 closing push for the playoffs, Rodgers could also be extra snug having receivers with whom he’s extra acquainted. Lazard is without doubt one of the gamers on that very quick record.
