FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Wide receiver Allen Lazard said he signed with the New York Jets because of the «bright lights» of the city and a strong affinity for his new offensive coordinator.
Then, of course, there's the life-changing money. And one other thing, too. «Obviously, standing here today, it feels good knowing that 12's going to be my quarterback again,» Lazard said Friday on a Zoom call with reporters.
Lazard spoke of former Green Bay Packers teammate Aaron Rodgers as if their reunion is a done deal. Not quite, as the Jets and Packers are negotiating trade compensation and a restructured contract.
On Wednesday, Rodgers said his «intention» is to play for the Jets in 2023. A trade is expected to happen, though nothing is imminent.
