As the Jets try to complete a deal with the Packers for quarterback Aaron Rodgers, New York officially signed former Green Bay wide receiver Allen Lazard on Friday. The 27 year-old joins the Jets after playing for four years with Rodgers, developing a strong chemistry over that span.
While speaking with the media, Lazard didn’t shy away from questions about Rodgers and the Jets. The veteran explained that he is excited to play with Rodgers again once the trade goes through and believes the quarterback takes the team to another level.
“I think with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback, the possibility of wins is always a thing,” he said about the team. “His caliber of play automatically activates everybody’s potential on the field immediately.”
