The Green Bay Packers took several big steps towards salary cap compliance over the last 24-plus hours, but brought back one major piece of their defense in re-signing De’Vondre Campbell. On Tuesday, the team also took a significant step to return a major piece of their offense as well, issuing a tender to restricted free agent Allen Lazard.
As the Packers’ big slot receiver and so-called “goon,” Lazard has been a force as a blocker in the run game as well as a reliable possession receiver over the past few seasons. Now he is likely to return for 2022, as the Packers have reportedly submitted a second-round tender to him.
