Jets Release Lazard: A Mutual Parting
16 Dec, 2025
Summary
- Allen Lazard is being released by the New York Jets.
- The decision to part ways with Lazard was mutual.
- Lazard signed a $44 million contract with the Jets in 2023.
Veteran wide receiver Allen Lazard is no longer with the New York Jets, as the team has mutually agreed to release him. This decision comes after Lazard's playing time and impact dwindled considerably throughout the current season.
Lazard's season statistics reflect his reduced role, with only 10 receptions for 70 yards and a single touchdown across 10 games played. His departure with three games remaining in the regular season allows him the opportunity to sign with another team.
Acquired as a significant offseason move in 2023, Lazard joined the Jets on a four-year contract worth $44 million. He was expected to be a key target, especially after his former Green Bay quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, was traded to New York.
