Allen Lazard does not go anywhere … for now.
The Jets and Lazard agreed to a revised contract that has Lazard’s bar a salary cut of $ 8.5 million, according to the limit.
Lazard had been scheduled to win $ 11 million in 2025, which made him a probable cut for jets. The reviewed agreement reduces the guaranteed part of its salary to $ 1.75 million. Its base salary is $ 2.25 million.
It will become a free agent in 2026.
At the annual NFL meeting last week, the general manager of the Jets, Darren Mougey, said that “hope” was that Lazard would remain in the team under a revised agreement.
Lazard, 29, signed a four -year contract and $ 44 million with the Jets in 2023 when the team began to court Aaron Rodgers, his former field marshal with the Packers.
With Rodgers now missing, the Jets were expected to purge all the “friends of Aaron” they brought to make it happy.
The Jets gave permission to Lazard agent to find a commercial partner in March, but there were no makers.
The contract review makes a lazada trade more realistic.
If Rodgers signs with the Steelers, the jets could try to move Lazard there. If not, your new salary facilitates keeping it as a third or fourth receiver.
Lazard recovered after a difficult 2023 and had a decent 2024 season for the jets before being advanced.
He had 37 caught for 530 yards and six touchdowns in 12 games.
It was difficult to justify that production child for $ 11 million. At $ 2 million, it could be a bargain.
Lazard’s capitalization number will fall from $ 13.2 million to $ 4.6 million.
