As of February 22nd, 2023, it’s difficult to imagine the Green Bay Packers bringing back wide receiver Allen Lazard. As an unrestricted free agent, Lazard will be free to sign with any team when the 2023 league year begins on March 15th, and it appears likely that his market will be strong.
Spotrac estimates Lazard’s market value at $12.5 million per year, which is even more than Marquez Valdes-Scantling received from the Kansas City Chiefs last season ($10 million per year over 3 years). Lazard does not have MVS’ breakaway speed and deep-threat ability, but he has been one of the NFL’s most efficient receivers throughout his career, frequently ranking among the league leaders in DVOA.
