have been urged to cut a veteran wide receiver in the past, but could they actually find a trade partner for him?"Lazard would be an expensive trade prospect for any team to acquire," said Tensey, "but if the Rodgers era is a complete failure, the Jets could cut ties with the veteran wide out to clear space for their younger wide receivers to earn as much playing time as possible."and found a role that the receiver in excelled in.
When Rodgers went down, Lazard was unable to build that sort of relationship with any of the quarterbacks on the roster. In 2023, the former Iowa State Cyclone had just 23 catches on 49 targets for 311 yards and a lone touchdown. While that is fine for a depth player, he played far too many snaps for that to be an acceptable statline.Xavier Gipson and Jason Brownlee could each easily make the roster over him as well.
Gipson had 21 catches for 229 yards while playing on about 30% less of the snaps. Those numbers aren't great either but he at least adds some potential specials teams work. The speedster returned a kick for a touchdown this season. Brownlee played even less but could potententially figure in to a red zone role at 6-foot-2. He's also much young and cheaper than Lazard.and the teams could swap via need? They could also trade for a pick to decide what to do with later down the line.Dylan Sanders graduated from Louisiana State University with a degree from the Manship School of Mass Communication in 2023.
