In a shocking move that’s set to send shockwaves throughout the NFL, the Green Bay Packers are reportedly considering trading away star wide receiver, Allen Lazard. According to sources close to the team, Lazard’s $13.8 million salary is seen as too expensive for the team’s liking, and they’re exploring options to deal him away.
Lazard, who’s been a key starter for the Packers since 2018, has been a fan favorite in Green Bay. He’s known for his clutch performances on the field and his charitable work off it. However, with the team looking to free up cap space and rebuild their roster, it seems that Lazard’s time in Green Bay may be coming to an end.
“This is a tough pill to swallow for Packers fans,” said NFL analyst, John Hansen. “Allen Lazard has been a staple of this team for years, and his departure would be a significant blow. However, from a business perspective, it makes sense. The Packers need to free up cap space, and Lazard’s salary is a big chunk of that.”
The news of Lazard’s potential trade has already sparked outrage among Packers fans, with many taking to social media to express their disappointment.
“Are you kidding me?! Allen Lazard is a Packers legend!” tweeted @PackersFan4Life. “We can’t let him go!”
“This is a huge mistake,” wrote @Cheesehead1975. “Lazard is one of our best players. We need him to win.”
While nothing has been officially announced by the team, it’s clear that the Packers are exploring their options. As the NFL trade deadline approaches, Packers fans will be holding their breath, hoping that Lazard will remain in Green Bay.
