The New York Jets made the decision to clean house this offseason, parting ways with the previous regime, Aaron Rodgers, and just about everyone tied to that era — everyone except for Allen Lazard.
The veteran wideout agreed to a reworked contract and, somewhat surprisingly, remained on the roster beyond the 2025 NFL Draft and into training camp. Most assumed Lazard would be among those sent packing, but the team's thin wide receiver depth chart was enough to keep him around at least temporarily.
Lazard entered the summer competing for the WR2 job behind Garrett Wilson with veteran Josh Reynolds, but reports out of spring practices suggested the latter had the early edge.
