In the team’s Week 4 loss to the Denver Broncos, wide receiver Allen Lazard took the expression a step further. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-jets-wr-allen-lazard-penalized-gun-celebration">Lazard was flagged for a finger gun celebration</a>. The penalty cost the Jets 15 yards and derailed a promising drive with a little over a minute remaining in the third quarter.</p><p>The veteran wideout <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/10/03/sports/jets-allen-lazard-ready-to-fire-back-at-nfl-if-fined-for-finger-guns/" rel="noopener">acknowledged the situation</a> and its likely outcome. “It’s something very silly… I expect the NFL to fine me just from the history of situations like this,” Lazard said, per the New York Post. Despite anticipating a fine – and even citing a history of fines in similar circumstances – Lazard added, “I’ve gotten zero clarification from the NFL… Now, my coaches have come up and talked to me individually. It’s very unfortunate that I’m the victim of the situation.”</p><p>The thing is, Lazard isn’t the victim of this situation. The NFL does not allow gun-related celebrations. The topic has already come up this season. It made headlines just two weeks ago. Atlanta Falcons wideout <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/falcons-news-drake-london-slapped-14069-fine-gun-gesture">Drake London celebrated his game-winning touchdown</a> in Week 2 against the Philadelphia Eagles with a gun-shooting gesture. London’s Monday Night Football pantomime drew a 15-yard penalty and ultimately triggered a $14,069 fine from the league.</p><p>Still, Lazard, for some reason, does not appear to understand. “If I am [fined], they are definitely going to <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/10/03/sports/jets-allen-lazard-ready-to-fire-back-at-nfl-if-fined-for-finger-guns/" rel="noopener">exempt it</a>… It wouldn’t make sense to fine someone for something you never warned them [about]. It’s like implementing a new driving rule: If you are driving down the street with only one hand, you never told me I can only drive with only two hands. That’s unfair. That’s not a lawful democracy in that sense,” he said, via the New York Post.</p><h2><b>Jets WR Allen Lazard is ready for a finger gun fight</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Allen-Lazard.jpg"><figcaption>Robert Deutsch-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>While Lazard’s finger gun celebration was definitely subtle, particularly when compared to London’s gesture, it’s still against the league’s rules. The 28-year-old receiver should expect a fine on Saturday. Perhaps we’ll all be treated to additional analogies as he defends himself.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Allen Lazard got hit with a 15-yard penalty for a finger gun celebration <a href="https://t.co/NEuJwxDBoU">pic.twitter.com/NEuJwxDBoU</a></p><p>— Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) <a href="https://twitter.com/MySportsUpdate/status/1840475632599232890?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 29, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Despite a solid college career that included several Iowa State receiving records, Lazard went undrafted in 2018. The Green Bay Packers ultimately signed the wideout off the Jacksonville Jaguars’ practice squad. He enjoyed several productive years with Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay, including a 60-catch, 788-yard, six-touchdown season in 2022.</p><p>When the Jets were attempting to entice Rodgers into coming to New York, the team added the veteran wide receiver. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-new-york-looking-to-sign-aaron-rodgers-weapon-but-not-for-the-reason-you-think">Jets signed Lazard to a four-year, $44 million contract</a> prior to the 2023 season.</p><p>Rodgers’ return from the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-aaron-rodgers-exits-monday-night-football-vs-bills-apparent-injury">Achilles tear he suffered in Week 1</a> last year has reinvigorated Lazard’s career. Playing primarily with Zach Wilson at quarterback during his Jets debut in 2023, Lazard had just 23 receptions for 311 yards and one touchdown in 14 games. With Rodgers back under center, the seven-year veteran is already up to 16 catches for a team-high 206 yards and three touchdowns through four games.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Moreover, the Jets hadn’t just blasted a lowly Patriots team–this is a team that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/2-patriots-overreactions-shocking-upset-victory-bengals">upset the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1</a> and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/patriots-news-jerod-mayo-change-ne-must-make-narrow-loss-seahawks">lost a nailbiter to the Seattle Seahawks</a> the week after. This win must have made the Jets players feel so good that wideout Allen Lazard blurted out an NSFW comment after the game.</p><p>“Our defense played their f**king ass off tonight,” Lazard said to the media, as <a href="https://x.com/Connor_J_Hughes/status/1836981218778255852" rel="noopener">posted</a> by Connor Hughes on X, formerly Twitter.</p><h2><b>Week 3: Jets vs. Patriots</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Allen-Lazard-scoring-a-touchdown.jpg"><figcaption>© Brad Penner-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Jets’ Allen Lazard had himself a solid game, too, with three receptions and 48 rushing yards, along with a touchdown. True to his comments, the team was simply clicking on both sides of the ball, outclassing the Patriots on every play.</p><p>For instance, the Jets <a href="https://sports.yahoo.com/jets-dream-come-true-aaron-rodgers-is-magnificent-as-new-york-blasts-patriots-031407698.html" rel="noopener">had already amassed</a> 400 yards of offense with 4:24 left in the fourth quarter, while the Patriots only had 93. Their defense had always been a consistent positive, but its job became easier when a quarterback on Rodgers’ level called the plays on offense.</p><p>Before Rodgers, the Jets were consistently mediocre, winning seven games in the last two seasons but failing to qualify for the postseason for 13 straight years. They also have the NFL’s longest active playoff drought, and they hoped the addition of Rodgers would reverse their fortunes.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-aaron-rodgers-exits-monday-night-football-vs-bills-apparent-injury">An Achilles tear kept Rodgers</a> from delivering on the team’s hopes last season, but he’s making up for lost time. His play on Thursday earned him raucous <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-how-aaron-rodgers-was-received-by-ny-fans-first-home-game-after-injury">“Aaron Rodgers!” chants from the home crowd</a>, which he even had to try quieting down because their offense had the ball.</p><p>While Rogers might not be as mobile anymore thanks to his age and Achilles injury, he can still see the field well and his arm can still deliver 90-mph rockets to his receivers. He could also go outside the pocket and throw on the move, but only when he needed to.</p><p>The Jets also saw positive contributions from Tyler Conklin, Mike Williams, and Lazard as the Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez was giving one of NY’s best receivers Garrett Wilson some trouble. Likewise, the offensive line carved up the Patriots’ defense for the running game and protected Rodgers throughout.</p><h2><b>Outlook</b></h2><p>In the first two weeks of the NFL season, the Jets might have looked like laughingstocks for trading for an old Aaron Rodgers with a busted leg. This Week 3 game might not be enough to convert the naysayers, but it should turn some heads.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Jets are hoping to keep him healthy all of this year, and with a good core of wide receivers, they could have something good going for them on offense. One of those WRs is Allen Lazard, and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-robert-saleh-breaks-silence-on-jets-qb-aaron-rodgers-minicamp-absence">New York head coach</a> Robert Saleh has liked what he has seen from him this offseason.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-aaron-rodgers-skipped-camp-overseas-vacation-according-to-colin-cowherd">The Jets have the tools</a> to have success on offense, but it will all come down to keeping everyone healthy. That is what plagued the team last season. If Aaron Rodgers can play all season, New York has a chance to have a good year.</p><p>Allen Lazard will be one of the top targets for Rodgers, and Robert Saleh is expecting big things from him next season. This offseason has been great for Lazard so far.</p><p>“I feel like Allen has come in <a href="https://www.newyorkjets.com/news/jets-minicamp-practice-report-garrett-wilson-allen-lazard-fireworks-06-12-2024" rel="noopener">with a renewed mindset</a>,” Saleh said, according to an article from the team website. “I think he’s attacked the heck out of the offseason. He’s showed up in tremendous shape. He’s like a second coach on the field and in that receiver room. He’s been awesome, so I’m grateful that he’s here. I think he’s going to have a really nice bounce back year.”</p><p>Last season was Lazard’s first season with the Jets as he came over from the Green Bay Packers with Rodgers. He hauled in 23 receptions for 311 yards and one touchdown. If his QB that he spent five years playing with stays healthy, he should be able to have a good season.</p><h2><b>Jets players and coaches talk offense</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Allen-Lazard.jpg"><figcaption>© Jasen Vinlove-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Everyone is eager to see how this Jets offense looks with Aaron Rodgers running the show as we didn’t really get to see that last year. Tight end Tyler Conklin knows that they haven’t been perfect, but he was happy with how they finished practices.</p><p>“As an offense yesterday we didn’t love the way we came out and played so it was good to come out on the last day and have a really good practice in a lot of different areas,” Tyler Conklin said. “Obviously finishing the day off in two-minute [period] and move the ball and doing that at a high level is definitely a good way to finish up heading into camp.”</p><p>Robert Saleh has already seen a lot of improvement from the offense this offseason in a lot of different areas. If the Jets can translate everything into the regular season, they should be exciting to watch.</p><p>“This year there is a lot more communication, a lot more fixing on the fly, players communicating with players. So in that regard from an offensive standpoint, we’re playing a lot faster, much more decisive, we’re in and out of the huddle where the operation is a lot cleaner,” Saleh said. “The route running is a lot crisper, the O-line blocking schemes are more defined. It’s been fun to watch and to go through, so that is much improved.”</p><p>The Jets are one of the more intriguing teams heading into next season. There are a lot of question marks, but there is also a lot of potential.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

A huge talking point about his arrival with the New York Jets has been bringing players that he has gone through a lot within the Green Bay Packers system like Randall Cobb. Allen Lazard is one of these individuals. The wideout in Robert Saleh’s system hoped to replicate his spark with the veteran quarterback. But, an injury in the first game derailed all of those plans. It was to no avail and after last year’s NFL Free Agency move, it looks like only one thing needs to be done.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-robert-saleh-surprising-confident-allen-lazard-take-after-healthy-scratch-close-season" rel="noopener">The Jets are reportedly</a> ‘available <a href="https://twitter.com/DMRussini/status/1768387200557748551?t=_7JGNZ_OfCbOErqaUNpNXA&amp;s=19" rel="noopener">in trade talks</a>‘ when it comes to Allen Lazard, per Dianna Russini of The Athletic. His contract situation is not the best and does not look worth it given the production he put out in the 2023 season. With his on-field chemistry with Rodgers, he scored a four-year deal back in 2023 NFL Free Agency which is worth $44 million. This requires the Jets to pay Lazard a guaranteed $10 million for 2024.</p><p>But, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-new-york-counting-randall-cobb-browns-latest-allen-lazard-update" rel="noopener">Jets’ front office does not</a> look willing to give him that money. After all, Lazard only notched 311 receiving yards while his lethality in the endzone was not on display after recording just a single touchdown. All of this can be attributed to Aaron Rodgers’ injury and the amount of quarterback turnover. But, the dip in numbers is too significant to ignore after Lazard put up 788 receiving yards and six touchdowns in 2022.</p><p>If the Jets do choose to move him, they are getting some flexibility in return. The front office will save about $10 million if Lazard is traded before June 1. Any move before that date will see them only save $3.4 million.</p><h2><b>What the Jets wideout offers</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/New-York-Jets-wide-receiver-Allen-Lazard-10-makes-a-catch-in-front-of-Miami-Dolphins-cornerback-Eli-Apple-33.jpg"><figcaption>© Jasen Vinlove-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>A lot of teams are in need of new weapons. With Lazard, they are guaranteed to get someone with a knack for catching from way out. With the exception of his rookie season, he averages more than 12.5 receiving yards per reception. In his slump with Robert Saleh’s Jets, he even managed to average 13.5 receiving yards after catches. He is also just a year removed from a six-touchdown season and two years from an eight-touchdown campaign.</p><p>Will any team be willing to snag him?</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Still, the Jets coach was so displeased with the wide receiver’s play that he decided to put Lazard in street clothes <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/11/24/sports/heroes-zeros-from-jets-loss-to-dolphins-tim-boyle-flops/" rel="noopener">for what turned out</a> to be New York’s fourth straight loss.</p><p>“One, I wanted to give some of the younger guys an opportunity to play and, two, it’s kind of a challenge to see if he can recapture the edge in who he is and the player we have a lot of faith in,” Saleh explained.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">"He's gonna be here for the next year-and-a-half.

However, they’ll be without wide receiver, Allen Lazard for the game.</p><p>For reasons currently unknown, Allen Lazard is inactive <a href="https://twitter.com/Connor_J_Hughes/status/1728102959152787837" rel="noopener">for Friday night</a>, according to Connor Hughes of SNYtv. He has been dealing with a knee injury, but the Jets never put him on the injury list leading up to the game.</p><p>“BREAKING: Jets WR Allen Lazard is inactive today, sources tell SNYtv. Lazard, who signed a $44 million contract in the offseason, dropped his seventh pass of the season last week. He has just 20 catches for 290 yards and one TD.”</p><p>That statline is less than impressive. Especially considering the Jets gave him a $44 million contract. Of course, he came over to New York to play with Aaron Rodgers. Perhaps if Rodgers hadn’t fallen to an Achilles injury, Lazard would have made a bigger impact this season.</p><p>With Allen Lazard inactive, the Jets are likely to Jason Brownlee and Xavier Gipson bigger roles. However, with the coaching staff turning to Tim Boyle at quarterback, we should expect to see New York run the ball often against the Dolphins.</p><p>It’s been a roller coaster of a season <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-aaron-rodgers-intel-hypes-fans-thanksgiving-day" rel="noopener">for the Jets</a> and the franchise is still hopeful that Rodgers will return from injury. However, another loss could prevent the future Hall of Famer from returning. New York is on the verge of being out of the playoff race. So, the Friday night game against the Dolphins is crucial.</p><p>Make sure to tune into this game on Friday night, as it’s the first time the NFL has played a game on Black Friday.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Joe Tippmann will return from a quad injury to take over at center this week and Laken Tomlinson is expected to remain in the lineup despite being limited in practice.</p><p>Now, if that beleaguered group can keep Zach Wilson upright, who will the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-allen-lazard-zach-wilson-aaron-rodgers-comparison-after-giants-win" rel="noopener">Jets quarterback throw to</a> if Lazard, a top target, is either sidelined or hampered physically?</p><p>And make no mistake, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-predictions-week-9-vs-chargers" rel="noopener">Jets need to throw</a> the ball this week. The Chargers are giving up 297 yards per game in the air, most in the NFL.</p><p>Let’s explore how the Jets will manage Allen Lazard’s injury in Week 9 against the Chargers.</p><h2><b>The Jets will throw the ball to Garrett Wilson … a lot</b></h2><p>This is nothing new. Garrett Wilson is New York’s best receiver and Zach Wilson’s favorite target. So, the game plan every week to is to get the ball into the hands of the reigning NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year as often as possible. He leads the Jets in receptions (39), targets (69), receiving yards (469) and TD catches (2).</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Garrett Wilson made some really impressive catches yesterday, putting together his first 100 yard game of the season 🔥✈️<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Jets?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Jets</a> | 🎥 <a href="https://twitter.com/nyjetsfansonly?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@nyjetsfansonly</a> <br> <a href="https://t.co/Irk4PjV7Fl">pic.twitter.com/Irk4PjV7Fl</a></p><p>— Harrison Glaser (@NYJetsTFMedia) <a href="https://twitter.com/NYJetsTFMedia/status/1719150269932408989?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 31, 2023</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>But if Lazard (17 catches on 29 targets, 1 TD, team-high 15.0 yards per catch) is limited or out, it’s going to make it even easier for the Chargers to double Wilson and focus on shutting him down.</p><p>The Jets need a <a href="https://www.newyorkjets.com/news/jets-garrett-wilson-chargers-monday-night-football" rel="noopener">big-time game</a> from Wilson and he could be targeted 15 times or more Sunday if Lazard is unable to play.</p><p>But they also need production from an unexpected source or, preferably, multiple sources.</p><h2><b>Xavier Gipson headlines group of young receivers that must step up for Jets against Chargers</b></h2><p>Outside of Wilson and Lazard, Jets wide receivers have five catches this season. Five. And one of those was by Mecole Hardman, who was traded to the Kansas City Chiefs ahead of the NFL deadline.</p><p>The wide receiver room includes two undrafted rookies — Xavier Gipson (one catch, four yards) and Jacob Brownlee (no catches nor targets) — and Malik Taylor, who had seven catches in 25 games previously for the Green Bay Packers.</p><p>Like Lazard (who’s 6-foot-5), Taylor is a tall receiver (6-foot-3) who can play on the outside. He and Zach Wilson hooked up on a 57-yard reception in the preseason. And last week, Taylor helped set up the game-winning field goal in overtime against the New York Giants by trying to fight his way for a deep ball that drew a pass interference penalty.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Zach Wilson with a DIME to Malik Taylor downfield 🔥</p><p>(via <a href="https://twitter.com/NFL?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NFL</a>) <a href="https://t.co/g8W4SFO1H1">pic.twitter.com/g8W4SFO1H1</a></p><p>— Jets Videos (@snyjets) <a href="https://twitter.com/snyjets/status/1687261945466888192?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 4, 2023</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Brownlee is also suited to play on the outside. But it’s Gipson, the explosive 5-foot-8 dynamo who could be New York’s X-factor. He has a different skillset than Lazard and is more suited to playing in the slot, but Gipson is a threat to take it to the house every time he touches the ball. That was proven in his NFL debut when he returned a punt in OT for a game-winning touchdown against the Buffalo Bills.</p><p>Gipson has only one catch for four yards but expect him to play a bigger role this week. Jet sweeps (he does have 34 yards on four carries), screens and maybe even a deep ball or two. Gipson gives the Jets their best receiving option outside of Wilson if Lazard is out.</p><h2><b>Jets need to get Randall Cobb, Tyler Conklin more involved in passing game</b></h2><p>Randall Cobb has been a ghost this season. The veteran, and Aaron Rodgers BFF, has caught three passes on 12 targets for 20 yards in six games. He returns this week after missing one game with a shoulder issue. As a slot receiver, Cobb needs to be targeted on quick easy throws both in the short- and mid-range passing game. Anything to take the heat off Garrett Wilson and give Zach Wilson another proven option.</p><p>The tight ends need to be utilized more, too. Tyler Conklin is second on the Jets with 20 catches (averaging 11.4 yards per reception) but is not targeted nearly enough. C.J. Uzomah and Jeremy Ruckert need looks, as well.</p><p>Between Cobb and the tight ends, there need to be receiving options for the Jets to pick up first downs. Wilson (20) and Lazard (13) have far and away the most first-down receptions on the team.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
