The New York Jets have agreed a four-year $44 million (£37m) deal with ex-Green Bay Packers receiver Allen Lazard as they look to assemble an Aaron Rodgers-led roster.
The 27-year-old has spent his entire career, a period of the last five seasons, alongside Rodgers at Lambeau Field and has 169 catches, 2,236 yards and 20 touchdowns. The wide receiver helped the Packers reach the NFC Championship game in 2020 and recorded three catches in a 31-26 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
After ESPN reported Lazard was among the names on Rodgers’ wish list, it came as little surprise to see confirmation of his capture. Still, the former Green Bay man was keen to share his appreciation of his time in Wisconsin with a heartfelt message on Twitter.
