Allen Lazard

Jets general managers Darren Mougey told reporters that the team hopes to keep Allen Lazard on the roster via a restructured contract.

Mougey described the situation as “fluid.” Lazard caught 37-of-60 targets for 530 yards and six touchdowns last season. He is best suited to a rotational role at this point. The Jets would take on a $6.55 million salary cap hit this season if they were to cut him but also stand to save $6.6 million. New York granted Lazard permission to seek a trade this offseason, but with Aaron Rodgers still without a team, the market was dry. It’s possible the Jets keep Lazard solely because the state of the rest of their receiver corps looks dire.
