Allen Lazard, Randall Cobb going to Jets to team up with Aaron Rodgers?

An update from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport on Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb: Both Green Bay Packers receivers could be headed to New York to team up with Aaron Rodgers as new members of the Jets.

Lazard, an unrestricted free agent, looks on the way to signing a multi-year deal with the Jets. Rapoport said there’s no other team negotiating with the 26-year-old receiver.

“He is working on a deal with the New York Jets,” Rapoport said on NFL Network on Tuesday morning. “Seems to be all Jets for Allen Lazard. We’ll see if they can work out a deal here.”

Lazard, who set career-highs in catches and receiving yards last year, is one of the top free agents left at receiver.

Later in the segment, Rapoport said Cobb could follow Lazard and Rodgers to New York.

“We’ll see if it ends up being a package deal. Another one of Aaron Rodgers’ friends, Randall Cobb, also comes to the Jets, which I would say probably will happen if Aaron Rodgers comes to the Jets,” Rapoport said. “Which we think is going to happen but we don’t know, not quite done yet.”

Cobb wants to keep playing in 2023 and is an unrestricted free agent after his deal voided last month.

Adding Lazard and Cobb would give Rodgers two trusted receivers in New York as he transitions to a new team after 18 seasons in Green Bay. Lazard could be an excellent complementary piece behind Garrett Wilson, while Cobb is still capable of playing in the slot.

Lazard and Cobb combined to catch 94 passes for 1,205 yards and seven touchdowns during the 2022 season.

Mike Garafolo of NFL Network said momentum is building on a deal between the Jets and Packers for Rodgers but nothing is officially done yet.
