FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Wide receiver Allen Lazard said he signed with the New York Jets because of the "bright lights" of the city and a strong affinity for his new offensive coordinator. Then, of course, there's the life-changing money. And one other thing, too.
"Obviously, standing here today, it feels good knowing that 12's going to be my quarterback again," Lazard said Friday on a Zoom call with reporters.
Lazard spoke of former Green Bay Packers teammate Aaron Rodgers as if their reunion is a done deal. Not quite, as the Jets and Packers are negotiating trade compensation and a restructured contract.
