Jets Release Allen Lazard; Reunion with Rodgers in Pittsburgh Possible

Wide receiver Allen Lazard has officially been released by the New York Jets, making him available via waivers. Lazard had requested his release, which was mutually agreed upon. This season, he caught 10 passes for 70 yards and a touchdown in 10 games. He originally signed a four-year, $44 million contract in 2023 to reunite with Aaron Rodgers, but sought a fresh start despite redoing his contract for 2025. This move severs the Jets' last tie to the Rodgers era, with a potential reunion with Rodgers in Pittsburgh now on the table.
