The Green Bay Packers go into the 2023 offseason with the majority of questions surrounding the quarterback.
Aaron Roders’ future in Green Bay is up in the air at the moment, with the Packers saying they’re only open to dealing him outside the NFC. Assuming he doesn’t opt to retire instead.
However, Rodgers is not the only Packers player who’s future in Green Bay is in question.
WR Allen Lazard is coming off a career year where he totaled 60 receptions for 788 yards and six touchdowns. Being one of the Packers most prolific weapons.

During next season, he will turn 28. Making him slightly older than most common receivers seeking their second contract. However, his market won’t have any shortage of suitors.
If the #Saints can’t reach an agreement contractually with Michael Thomas. They may want to consider signing Allen Lazard @AllenLazard. 6’5 227lbs. Really good catch radius. 60 rec 788 yards and 6TDs in 2022 pic.twitter.com/cD10ruzsmF

A deep threat with great hands, standing at 6’5″ 230-pounds and having gone from project player to one of the most underrated and over productive playmakers in the NFL.
In fact, his estimated contract value according to Spotrac is an estimated $12.5 million per year. Similar to the likes of fellow wide receivers Corey Davis and Michael Gallup on a per year basis.
But is it too late?
Lazard may even know his time with the Green Bay Packers is running out. Sending a cryptic tweet that looks too much like a farewell.
A big reason may be the Packers front office desire for younger, cheaper help. Factoring into a trade with Rodgers at quarterback, as well as the elevated play of their rookie WR’s. Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson.
Lazard might cost more than what the Packers want to pay. Have we seen the last of number 13 in the green and gold?
