Jets' Allen Lazard: Gets permission to find trade
The New York Jets have given Allen Lazard permission to seek a trade, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.The second season of Lazard's four-year, $44 million contract went much better than the first, but it still looks like a huge overpay, and he still hasn't found success with any QB besides Aaron Rodgers (who won't be with the Jets in 2025). A release is more likely than a trade, as Lazard presumably would need to accept a pay cut to generate any interest. He's scheduled for non-guaranteed base salaries of $11 million in both 2025 and 2026.

Jets' Allen Lazard: Scores TD in likely Jets finale
Allen Lazard caught all three of his targets for 71 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-20 win over the Dolphins. He finishes the season with 37 catches for 530 yards and six touchdowns on 60 targets in 12 appearances.Lazard caught Aaron Rodgers' 501st regular-season touchdown pass on a 13-yard strike 59 seconds before halftime. The 29-year-old wide receiver scored five times through Week 6, but the Week 18 score was his only touchdown thereafter, as Lazard missed five games due to a chest injury and took a back seat after Davante Adams' arrival. The New York Jets almost certainly will utilize their out at the halfway point of Lazard's four-year, $44 million contract this offseason, as he hasn't come close to justifying that deal.

Jets' Allen Lazard: One catch in latest loss
Allen Lazard caught one of three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 40-14 loss to the Bills.Lazard didn't do a good job of working back to the ball on Aaron Rodgers' second interception, so the two former Packers each shoulder some of the blame for that turnover. The drop-prone wide receiver has caught only 34 of 57 targets this season, and Lazard hasn't scored since Week 6. A Week 18 tilt against the Dolphins will likely be his last game with the New York Jets -- there's an out in the four-year, $44 million overpay of a contract he signed prior to the 2023 season.

Jets' Allen Lazard: Two catches in Week 16
Allen Lazard caught two of five targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Rams.Lazard's ongoing issues with drops resurfaced in this game, as he added a couple more to his ledger. His unreliable hands coupled with a modest target share as the No. 3 wideout behind Davante Adams and Garrett Wilson limit Lazard's fantasy appeal ahead of a Week 17 trip to Buffalo.

Jets' Allen Lazard: No catches on four targets
Allen Lazard didn't catch any of his four targets in Sunday's 32-25 win over the Jaguars.Lazard has displayed butter fingers throughout his tenure with the New York Jets, and he had an especially costly drop Sunday on a dime from Aaron Rodgers that should have been a 30-yard touchdown. Anders Carlson missed a field-goal attempt on the very next play, though Lazard's struggles ultimately didn't prevent the Jets from notching their fourth win of the season. For the second consecutive game since Lazard returned from IR, Davante Adams and Garrett Wilson combined for double-digit catches and well over 200 yards, leaving limited opportunities for the team's No. 3 wideout.

Jets' Allen Lazard: One catch in return from IR
Allen Lazard (chest) caught his only target for 18 yards in Sunday's 32-26 overtime loss to the Dolphins.Seeing his first action since Week 7, Lazard played 78 percent of snaps on offense, so his lack of production wasn't due to a lack of playing time. He's a distant third on the New York Jets' wide receiver depth chart behind Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams, who combined for 223 yards and a touchdown on 21 targets against the Dolphins. Lazard will be a touchdown-dependent Week 15 fantasy option against a Jaguars defense that's giving up 26.5 points per game.

Jets' Allen Lazard: Officially available for Sunday
Allen Lazard (chest) was activated off injured reserve Saturday.Lazard is officially cleared to return after missing the past five games due to a chest injury. The 28-year-old might struggle to see opportunities as the No. 3 target behind Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams, especially given the New York Jets' struggles passing the ball in recent weeks.

Jets' Allen Lazard: Returning from IR
Allen Lazard (chest) will be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.Lazard has been practicing without limitations and presumably is healthy enough to suit up for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, though the New York Jets still will need to perform an official transaction to put him back on the 53-man roster. Prior to getting hurt, Lazard had 412 receiving yards and five touchdowns through seven games. All but one of those games came prior to the Jets trading for Davante Adams, and Lazard likely won't see as many targets while slotting in as the No. 3 wide receiver behind Adams and Garrett Wilson.

Jets' Allen Lazard: Practices fully Wednesday
Allen Lazard (chest) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.Lazard was officially designated for return from injured reserve Wednesday, and he looks to have a decent shot of suiting up for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. Xavier Gipson and rookie Malachi Corley have been handling the No. 3 and 4 receiver duties behind target leaders Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams in recent weeks. Lazard will be fighting for scraps behind Adams and Wilson as well as running back Breece Hall (knee) and tight end Tyler Conklin once he's cleared for game action.

Jets' Allen Lazard: Returning to practice
The New York Jets designated Allen Lazard (chest) for return from injured reserve Wednesday, Eric Allen of the team's official site reports.Lazard will resume practicing with the team Wednesday, and the Jets will have 21 days to decide whether to activate him or keep his on IR for the rest of the season. For his part, interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich noted Wednesday that he's hopeful the wideout will be ready by the end of the week. If Lazard is available for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, he would add depth to a wideout corps led by Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams.
