Allen Lazard Clears Waivers, Becomes Free Agent; Eligible for Jets Payout

Wide receiver Allen Lazard cleared waivers on Wednesday, making him a free agent. He is entitled to recover $291,667 of his remaining $1.75 million base salary from the Jets, without offset from future earnings. Lazard is now free to sign with any team, including a potential reunion with Aaron Rodgers, with whom he played in Green Bay and briefly with the Jets. He had previously renegotiated his Jets contract to avoid release and a potential move to Pittsburgh.
