\u201cI fully expect that sooner than later, and no later than training camp, the Steelers will trade for Jets receiver Allen Lazard,\u201d Florio said<\/a>. \u201cLazard, I think, is a perfect complement because when he\u2019s with Rodgers, he plays really well. When he\u2019s not with Rodgers, he does not play very well. The question becomes, what do the Jets want?\u201d<\/p>\n Pittsburgh has been looking to add another wide receiver since trading George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys<\/a> last month. The team hosted Gabe Davis on a free agent visit on Thursday, but he left without a deal<\/a> due to injury concerns.<\/p>\n Lazard does not have those concerns. He has played in at least 12 games in each of the last four seasons and there\u2019s no arguing his connection with Rodgers.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n The two have played together for the past seven seasons with the Green Bay Packers (2018-22) and New York Jets (2023-24). During that span, Lazard has recorded 229 catches for 3,077 yards and 27 touchdowns.<\/p>\n Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback James Pierre tackles New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard in a game on Oct. 20, 2024. \u2014 Ed Thompson \/ Steelers Now<\/p>\n The 29-year-old would also come at a bargain as he just reworked his contract<\/a> this offseason, reducing his salary to just $2.25 million for the 2025 season.<\/p>\n However, there is a problem. The Steelers are scheduled to face the Jets in Week 1, which could make executing a trade a little more difficult.<\/p>\n Florio thinks New York should take whatever it can get for Lazard, though.<\/p>\n \u201cAt the end of the day, if the Jets can get any value out of Lazard, a guy they would have cut if he didn\u2019t take a massive reduction in his pay for this year, anything they get is going to be a win,\u201d Florio continued. \u201cExcept in Week 1 when they have to face Aaron Rodgers and Allen Lazard if the trade is made.\u201d<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Only time will tell if and when Pittsburgh will land another playmaker to help its new 41-year-old quarterback, but Lazard will certainly be in the mix.<\/p>\n This article originally appeared on Steelers Now<\/a>: Florio: Expect Steelers to Reunite Aaron Rodgers with Former Teammate<\/a><\/p>\n Related Headlines<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk expects the Pittsburgh Steelers to reunite quarterback Aaron Rodgers with one of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":111216,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2051],"tags":[1586,2317,257,9676,7,4895,467,345,5856,226,5745,1917,255,2321,2097,6,57,4070],"class_list":{"0":"post-111215","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-jets","8":"tag-aaron-rodgers","9":"tag-allen-lazard","10":"tag-dallas-cowboys","11":"tag-ed-thompson","12":"tag-football","13":"tag-gabe-davis","14":"tag-george-pickens","15":"tag-green-bay-packers","16":"tag-james-pierre","17":"tag-jets","18":"tag-mike-florio","19":"tag-new-york","20":"tag-new-york-jets","21":"tag-newyork","22":"tag-newyorkjets","23":"tag-nfl","24":"tag-pittsburgh-steelers","25":"tag-pro-football-talk"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114642196637996924","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/111215","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=111215"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/111215\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/111216"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=111215"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=111215"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=111215"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Jets](\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/a2cd985f5ac57146c1a984b20eaa2020.jpeg\"\/)
