Lazard has played alongside Rodgers on the Green Bay Packers since 2018, and Jets offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett coached both players from 2019 to 2021. While another team is also reportedly interested in signing Lazard, it is possible that the Jets' interest in him is tied to the potential acquisition of Rodgers.
Although Rodgers has not made any public statements regarding his future plans, it is possible that he has discussed the possibility of playing with Lazard again in private conversations. While nothing is set in stone at this point, it appears that the Jets are actively pursuing options to build a strong team around their potential new quarterback.
