Allen Lazard Contract: It looks like Aaron Rodgers might be gearing up for a reunion with an old friend in Pittsburgh—well, at least one of them.
While his longtime coaching pal Nathaniel Hackett hasn’t made his way to the Steelers just yet, one of Rodgers’s reliable wide receivers could be on the brink of joining him for a third time—this time by the three rivers.
According to a source close to the situation, the Steelers are eyeing Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard as a possible trade target.
So, why Lazard, you might wonder? It’s pretty straightforward—Rodgers has complete faith in him.

Plus, Lazard tends to elevate his performance when Rodgers is the one throwing him the ball.
In fact, there was a time during Rodgers's injury-plagued first season with the Jets when Lazard was left out as a healthy scratch.
Lazard has recently slashed his 2025 salary from a hefty $11 million down to a much more manageable $2.5 million, with $1.75 million of that guaranteed.
For the Steelers, this is shaping up to be quite the steal, especially considering the gap in their depth chart behind DK Metcalf.
The real question now is whether Rodgers will end up signing with the Steelers.
While nothing is finalized just yet, there’s a strong feeling that it’s only a matter of time before it happens.
Based on what we've seen, it looks like there might be some truth to the idea that he’s waiting until after the schedule drops.
This way, the league can avoid putting the Steelers in a tough spot with extra prime-time games or short-week matchups.
