Looking to upgrade their wide receiver room with a bit of “addition by subtraction”, the New York Jets are reportedly trying to move wide receiver Allen Lazard. This, according to Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic.

The #Jets have made Allen Lazard available in trade talks this offseason, multiple team and league sources tell me and @DMRussini.

Lazard is due a $10 million salary this season. The Jets would save $3.4M (or $10M post-June 1) by trading him.

Set to make $10 million this season, Lazard would represent a modest cap savings of just over $3 million. But given his atrocious play in 2023, perhaps finding a taker on the trade market would make it worth it.

Lazard arrived in New York with high hopes but posted just 23 catches for 311 yards and just a single touchdown.

Former New York Jets coach Rex Ryan made it clear today that he also wants to be future head coach Rex Ryan. Is it something Gang Green should consider? Jets fans seem split down the middle on that very question.
