Dec. 16 (UPI) -- The New York Jets and wide receiver Allen Lazard mutually agreed to part ways, a league source told UPI on Tuesday.
Lazard signed a four-year, $44 million contract with the Jets in 2024, reuniting with former Green Bay Packers teammate Aaron Rodgers. He totaled 70 catches for 911 yards and eight scores over 36 appearances for the Jets.
The 6-foot-5 wide receiver, who restructured his contract in April after the Jets released Rodgers, caught 10 passes for 70 yards and one score over 10 appearances this season. Lazard caught 169 passes for 2,236 yards and 20 scores over his first five seasons, which he spent with the Packers.
The undrafted free agent signed by the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2018 signed with the Packers that December. He totaled a career-high 60 catches and 788 receiving yards in 2022, his final season with the Packers. Lazard caught a career-high eight touchdown passes in 2021.
He was a healthy scratch for four games during his final season with the Jets.
