The Jets are moving on from one of their biggest mistakes in recent memory. Wide receiver Allen Lazard is being released at his request per Jordan Schultz.
The Jets signed Lazard as a free agent in 2023 from the Packers in an attempt to build up a collection of Aaron Rodgers’ favorite targets as the team was trading for the Hall of Fame quarterback. Lazard received a 4 year, $44 million contract.
To say the contract did not work out would be an understatement. Lazard produced little with the team other than drops. It was a surprise when the Jets kept him for 2025 on a reworked deal that included a massive paycut. Lazard ended up being an afterthought in the offense this year, playing sparingly and only recording 10 receptions.
The release might have come at Lazard’s request, but it is a positive for the Jets who now have a free roster spot to fill with a player who has more upside.
