Trade rumors are swirling around Allen Lazard as the New York Jets consider their options. With reports suggesting a potential trade to the Pittsburgh Steelers, it's clear that the Jets may benefit from moving on from Lazard, who has underperformed significantly since joining the team.

Having signed a lucrative four-year deal worth $44 million two years ago, Lazard's subsequent pay cut to $2.25 million underscores his decline. Analysts argue that the Jets should accept any reasonable offer for him, citing his inability to consistently execute plays and suggesting that his blocking skills may not justify his continued presence on the roster. The Jets' need for reliable wide receivers remains critical, but retaining Lazard may not be the solution.
