FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- While continuing to pursue a trade for Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the New York Jets secured one of his longtime wide receivers, Allen Lazard.
The Jets and Lazard agreed to terms on a four-year, $44 million contract, a source told ESPN, confirming a report by theScore.com.
This should make Rodgers happy, as Lazard was one of the names on a free-agent wish list he submitted to the Jets, sources told ESPN's Dianna Russini.
Lazard will be reunited with former Packers offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, who holds the same position with the Jets.
