GREEN BAY, WI (WSAU) – While we all wait for an official agreement between the New York Jets and Aaron Rodgers, but former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard believes a deal will be completed.
Lazard signed a four-year, $44 million contract with the Jets this offseason and told TMZ that Rodgers is “a big reason” he chose New York. If and when the deal is completed, Lazard will be reunited with Rodgers, who has been his quarterback with the Packers since Lazard’s debut in 2018.
With no deal in place, is it possible that Lazard will end up with a different quarterback throwing him passes for the Jets? Lazard says that is something that has not crossed his mind.
“There’s no worry on my end,” Lazard said. “Especially knowing that Aaron has his full-on commitment to being a New York Jet this year.”
Lazard is a big fan of Rodgers, praising his passing ability and the energy he brings to the team. According to the receiver, No. 12 can “light a lot of fire underneath” everyone, giving them a true shot at making a Super Bowl run.
