Jets Expected To Cut Allen Lazard, Greg Zuerlein

The New York Jets are considering releasing wide receiver Allen Lazard after June 1, potentially saving $11 million against the salary cap. ESPN's Rich Cimini and The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt highlight Lazard's uncertain future amid concerns about the Jets' receiving corps, which lacks depth. Additionally, kicker Greg Zuerlein, who struggled in 2024, is also a candidate for a June 1 cut as the team seeks to improve its roster. Meanwhile, the Jets continue to explore linebacker options, possibly targeting free agent Kyzir White to bolster their depth. The offseason has seen mixed reactions to the Jets' moves, particularly the signing of cornerback Brandon Stephens, which has drawn criticism for its perceived risk. Despite the challenges, optimism remains for the Jets with young stars like Garrett Wilson and Sauce Gardner expected to have their fifth-year options picked up soon.
