Allen Lazard: Aaron Rodgers 'a Big Reason' for Jets Contract; Expects QB to be Traded

Aaron Rodgers may have denied supplying a wishlist of players for the New York Jets to sign, but Allen Lazard has no problem admitting the four-time NFL MVP was a key factor in his decision to sign with the team.

Speaking to TMZ Sports (starts at 2:30 mark), Lazard called Rodgers "a big reason" he is with the Jets now.

The veteran wide receiver also said (5:40 mark) "there's no worry on my end" about the ongoing stalemate between the Jets and Green Bay Packers about the compensation to finalize a trade for Rodgers.
