New York Jets fans are closely following the ongoing deal standoff between the team and Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. But recent news gives them a reason to hope. ESPN’s Adam Schefter recently tweeted that the Jets are interested in a certain 27-year-old wide receiver who is currently a free agent and had contributed significantly to the Packers’ offense in the past two seasons.

This young star caught 33 passes for 451 yards and three touchdowns in only ten games during his breakout 2020 season. He has been linked to several other teams, including the Baltimore Ravens and the Las Vegas Raiders, who are also in need of wide receiver assistance.

Allen Lazard has been linked to several groups, including the Baltimore Ravens and the Las Vegas Raiders. Both teams could be looking to add a player like Lazard to their team, as wide receiver assistance is needed. In addition to persuading Rodgers to join Gang Green, signing Lazard would affect more than just the quarterback situation.

According to NFL insider Adam Schefter, “Jets are actively working to reach an agreement with [Green Bay] Packers’ free-agent WR Allen Lazard, per league sources. There is another team involved, and no final decision, but the Jets are trying to reunite Lazard and OC Nathaniel Hackett.”
