There are rumors that New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard may be traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers. This trade, should it take place, would echo what happened when quarterback Aaron Rodgers brought a handful of players with him when moving from the Green Bay Packers to the Jets.
Should the trade follow through, and the Jets lose Lazard, there will be ripple effects felt by the whole team, as well as fans and sports bettors. This is especially the case because the Jets are already struggling with the wide receiver depth chart. Even if Lazard remains, his skill combined with Garrett Wilson and Arian Smith simply isn’t enough to secure their success.
