While the Jets are still waiting on a trade for Aaron Rodgers, they landed one of his favorite targets on Wednesday.

The team and free-agent wide receiver Allen Lazard agreed to a four-year, $44 million contract, according to multiple reports, although there were indications the deal had not yet been finalized.

Lazard played the first five years of his career with the Packers and with Rodgers as his quarterback.

Lazard has 169 career receptions for 2,236 yards and 20 touchdowns.

He is coming off his best statistical season when he had 60 receptions for 788 yards and six touchdowns in 2022.

We’ll now have to wait to see if Lazard’s arrival means Rodgers is also coming. Lazard was a free agent that Rodgers hoped the Jets could sign.

But even without Rodgers in the equation, Lazard makes sense for the Jets, who are expected to release Corey Davis.

At 6-foot-5, Lazard will give whoever is throwing the ball a big target and he also has a reputation as a good blocker, something that the Jets need with their running scheme.

New offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett also knows Lazard from his three years in the same position in Green Bay and surely gave the Jets input about signing him.

If Davis is released, as expected, the Jets wide receiver room would have Lazard, Garrett Wilson, Elijah Moore and Denzel Mims in it.

The Jets are also expected to pursue longtime Packers receiver Randall Cobb, another one of Rodgers’ favorites. ESPN reported Rodgers would also like the Jets to sign Odell Beckham Jr., but there is no sign the Jets are pursuing him yet.

The Jets are releasing Braxton Berrios and decided not to tender Jeff Smith, meaning they must address depth in the wide receiver room.

The Jets are also in the market for a starting center and missed out on free agent Jake Brendel, who agreed to a new deal with the 49ers.

The Jets had interest in Brendel and are looking for a replacement for free agent Connor McGovern.

At another spot along the offensive line, the Jets lost one of their own free agents on Tuesday when guard Nate Herbig agreed to a two-year, $8 million contract with the Steelers, according to the NFL Network.

Herbig started 11 games for the Jets last year after injuries forced the Jets to move Alijah Vera-Tucker to guard and then Vera-Tucker suffered a season-ending injury.

The Jets have Laken Tomlinson and Vera-Tucker as their starting guards right now, but are thin behind them and are going to have to address depth along the offensive line this offseason.
