Lazard came over to New York ahead of the 2023 season as a member of the group that came over with ties to former Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Lazard inked a four-year, $44 million deal and had a sizable impact on the offense in 2023 and 2024. In his first season with the Jets, Lazard had 23 receptions for 311 yards and a touchdown.

Aaron Rodgers is an NFL superstar who plays quarterback for the Green Bay Packers. He has won one Super Bowl with the Packers and has spent his entire career with the team.

The New York Jets and Allen Lazard are no more. Lazard, 30, was released on Tuesday. The wide receiver had three disappointing seasons in New York: Lazard had only 10 catches for 70 yards and a touchdown this season while playing in just 10 games. Lazard was buried on the team's depth chart in 2025.

Aaron Rodgers has stabilized the Steelers at quarterback, but his time in Pittsburgh may be short. With the draft offering limited options, the Steelers could be forced to explore veteran solutions. One revived NFC quarterback has quietly entered the conversation.
