Buzz: Does Allen Lazard need to stick with the Jets?

There was some speak concerning the Jets doubtlessly attempting to commerce large receiver Allen Lazard to the Steelers after Pittsburgh signed Aaron Rodgers. Lazard goes again with Rodgers having caught passes from him with each the Packers and the Jets.

Mike Florio of Professional Soccer Speak mentions that Lazard may not be excited a few potential reunion.

Per a supply with information of Lazard’s considering, he sees a really actual potential profit to proving his potential to perform at a suitable degree with out Rodgers as his quarterback. With the Jets planning a run-heavy offense underneath new coach Aaron Glenn (and new quarterback Justin Fields), there’s a premium on receiver blocking. At six toes, 5 inches and 225 kilos, Lazard suits that function completely.

Effectively that isn’t precisely definitive.

On the finish of the day, Lazard’s needs solely matter a lot. Gamers aren’t typically consulted about being traded. It’s about what’s greatest for the staff.

Regardless of Lazard’s blocking potential in what needs to be a run oriented offense, I wouldn’t hesitate to commerce him if Pittsburgh provided something for his companies. Lazard doesn’t determine to be with the Jets previous this season, and his anticipated manufacturing for this yr’s staff is proscribed. Even a late spherical decide might have extra worth for the staff in the long term.
