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.
