"The New York Jets are releasing veteran wide receiver Allen Lazard at his request, per multiple reports on Tuesday. It brings an end to one of the more disappointing free agency signings in recent team history. The 30-year-old pass-catcher followed his old Green Bay Packers teammate, Aaron Rodgers, to MetLife Stadium, where he signed a four-year, $44 million contract with Gang Green. If he clears waivers, he will become a free agent."
"In 36 games, Lazard recorded just 70 catches for 911 yards and eight touchdowns. He has been irrelevant this season with Justin Fields, Tyrod Taylor, and Brady Cook under center, recording 10 catches for 70 yards and a touchdown across 10 games. With the Jets sitting at 3-11, the two parties finally decided to cut their losses and move on. Lazard re-did his contract this season to stay with the Jets after Rodgers was shown the door by Darren Mougey and Aaron Glenn."
