He also battled drop issues; his 17.9% drop rate ranked second-worst among qualified wide receivers, and he committed five penalties.<\/p>\n<p>With Aaron Rodgers back at the helm, his production did increase with 530 yards and six touchdowns in 12 games, but he continued to struggle with drops and penalties, logging a league-worst 17.8% drop rate and committing a career-high six penalties.<\/p>\n<p>Lazard and the Jets agreed on a <a href=\"https:\/\/jetsxfactor.com\/2025\/04\/10\/ny-jets-agree-revised-contract-allen-lazard\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">restructured contract<\/a> earlier this offseason, slashing his 2025 cap hit from $13.2 million to $4.6 million. The move guarantees him only $1.75 million and clears over $8 million in salary cap space for the Jets.<\/p>\n<p>Now, any team trading for Lazard would take on a modest $2.25 million base salary for 2025, a manageable figure that could make him an appealing option on the market.<\/p>\n<p>If Lazard wants to remain in New York, he\u2019ll need to prove his value this summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The New York Jets could still trade veteran wide receiver Allen Lazard, but such a move likely wouldn\u2019t&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":134488,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2051],"tags":[2317,7,3228,226,1917,255,2321,2097,6,3231,3916,13786,3234,31834],"class_list":{"0":"post-134487","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-jets","8":"tag-allen-lazard","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-free-content","11":"tag-jets","12":"tag-new-york","13":"tag-new-york-jets","14":"tag-newyork","15":"tag-newyorkjets","16":"tag-nfl","17":"tag-ny-jets-news","18":"tag-ny-jets-players","19":"tag-ny-jets-trades","20":"tag-standard","21":"tag-syndication"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114693408464857025","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134487","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=134487"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134487\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/134488"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=134487"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=134487"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=134487"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
