The Jets are set to waive Lazard on Tuesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. According to Cimini, the Jets are moving on from Lazard in a mutual decision, as the veteran wideout had previously asked to be let go. After accepting an $8.5 million pay cut in the offseason, Lazard is under contract at a palatable $1.75 million base salary for 2025, but it's unclear if any team would want to put in a waiver claim for him and assume the money remaining on his deal. The 30-year-old was already a major disappointment for the Jets in the first two seasons of the four-year, $44 million deal he signed in March 2023, and he's taken an even bigger step back statistically in 2025. Lazard had produced a lowly 10-70-1 receiving line on 18 targets in 10 appearances, and he had been a healthy inactive back in Week 11. With three games left in a non-contending season, the Jets were eager to open up more opportunities for their younger wide receivers rather than continuing to give Lazard reps.

Lazard didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins. Lazard was targeted exactly once for the second consecutive game, as he remains a nonfactor even as the Jets continue to play without Garrett Wilson (knee), who is eligible to return from IR in Week 15 against the Jaguars. Lazard has just nine catches for 64 yards and one touchdown in 2025.

Lazard (neck) caught his only target for 10 yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Falcons. Lazard suited up after being listed as questionable due to a neck injury that popped up Saturday. He adjusted well to box out his defender and secure a 10-yard catch on a pass that came out funny as Tyrod Taylor was hit as he threw. That was the only target of the game for Lazard, who hasn't exceeded three targets or 16 receiving yards in a game all season ahead of a Week 14 home game against the Dolphins.

Lazard (neck) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons. Lazard popped up on the injury report Saturday after practicing without issue earlier in the week. He'll be active for the second consecutive week, though he has yet to see more than three targets in any game this season.

Lazard (neck) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons. The injury is a new one for Lazard, as he wasn't listed on the Jets' injury report during Week 13 prep. His status may not be officially known until the Jets announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If Lazard is not cleared to play, then Isaiah Williams, Arian Smith and Tyler Johnson would be the top candidates to see more offensive snaps.
