Reports: Jets to Part Ways with WR Allen Lazard
Allen Lazard requested release after limited production with the Jets; he recorded 10 catches for 70 yards and a touchdown this season, with the Steelers considering signing him.
- Tuesday, the New York Jets released wide receiver Allen Lazard after he requested his release, with an AP source saying the decision was mutual and he can sign elsewhere if he clears waivers.
- Relegated to a backup role this season, Lazard saw his opportunities diminish despite Garrett Wilson being on injured reserve since last month, and he failed to prove himself without Aaron Rodgers, quarterback.
- This season, Lazard managed just 10 catches for 70 yards and a touchdown in 10 games, with career totals of 70 catches for 911 yards and eight touchdowns across 36 games.
- The Pittsburgh Steelers are likely on a short list to sign Lazard, but with seven wide receivers, they could first add him to the practice squad before promoting him.
- After following Aaron Rodgers to New York in 2023, Allen Lazard signed a four-year, $44 million contract, rising from undrafted free agent to a trusted Rodgers target despite a reputation for drops.
