The wide receiver came over from the Green Bay Packers last offseason to provide some familiarity for the veteran quarterback.
Neither player saw much playing time because of injuries and now Lazard comes into a team with more depth at wide receiver.
The offseason acquisition of Mike Williams relegated Lazard to third-at-best on the depth chart. He may be even lower depending on how Xavier Gipson and Jason Brownlee perform this summer.
Lazard's four-year, $44 million contract may make him hard to trade, but he does have a potential out in his contract after the 2024 season, per Spotrac.
Lazard would be an expensive trade prospect for any team to acquire, but if the Rodgers era is a complete failure, the Jets could cut ties with the veteran wide out to clear space for their younger wide receivers to earn as much playing time as possible.
