It Sounds Like Allen Lazard is as Good as Gone from Green Bay - Bleacher Nation

Allen Lazard sounds pretty confident that he's played his last game as a Packer.

"The big question in Green Bay will be, “what’s next for Aaron Rodgers?” But he’s not the only Packers player whose future is in doubt. After Allen Lazard spoke with the media on Sunday, it sounds like he’s as good as gone from Green Bay."

Would love to have him in Minnesota. Thielen has lost more than a step. JJ, Lazard and Osborn would be pretty solid.

While I'd love to see AL in Minny, I don't think he'd get many targets over JJ and Osborn. It would be fun to see him block for Cook on a screen pass, though.

They had their chance to pay him and they didn't.

I'm hoping Osborn continues to develop into the #2.
Lazard's stats compare pretty closely with Theilen, this year. 60-70 catches, 7-800 yards, 7 TDs. He shines in run blocking, though. And he's a big body in the red zone.

He'll find a landing spot but it won't be as a WR1. Would be a nice pick up for a playoff contending team that just needs a solid 2nd or 3rd WR and his blocking would be valuble on edge plays. I would love to have him in KC as they run a lot of stuff where he could lay out a guy that helps them bust off a big play.

Man, his lockerroom interview was tough listening. He's not happy at all.

 

[madguy30]

Hopefully he makes his way somewhere to get a few more years in.

He will. Solid, above-average receivers are in really high demand. Lazard will probably have multiple contract offers.

The Packers have really dissolved having a foundation.

Green Bay is toxic right now. I'm glad AL is getting the hell out of dodge. Other teams are gonna value him way more than the Packers. Wouldn't be surprised to see him crack 1,000 yrds someplace else.

They did just **** the bed in the biggest game of the season, but even taking that into consideration he sounded like a guy who could finally talk about how he really felt, and he sounded pissed at the org.

Could be a lot better for him in the long run if Rodgers is going into his Favre phase where every off season no one knows if he'll be back.

 

[Cyclonepride]

I think he makes for a fantastic #2 paired with a dynamic #1

Why can’t Lazard go somewhere that would utilize his blocking skills to be more of a tight end? I’ve really never understood it. He would be a wonderful tight end.

My wife's father's side of the family is from Milwaukee and all big Badger and Packer fans.

I happened to be at my father-in-law's place this weekend and watched the game with him.

I've never seen this man -- who is some high-ranking Zen guru -- so disgusted in his life.

I had to break it to him watching a mediocre team with mediocre to bad quarterback play is the state of nature for most NFL fanbases. Going from Favre to Rodgers, two of the ten best quarterbacks of all-time and having them throughout their primes, to whatever comes next is going to be hard for him.

That'll cost him a lot of cash. Shhh.

He missed his chance to look like a WR1, perhaps due to the team more than himself, although I don't suppose he really is even if they'd tried harder. I don't think the Vikes need him but I hope he ends up someplace he enjoys and fits better.

Blocking a CB and blocking someone like Micah Parsons are two entirely different jobs. He's found his niche, he's pretty good at it, just needs a team that fits.

 

[CyGuy5]

I would love him in Dallas. Would be a great #2 or 3 with Lamb

 

[cyphoon]

Not sure why a reporter would ask a free agent if someone else is returning next year.

Most TEs don’t normally block guys like Micah Parsons one on one anyway, they provide more of a chip on guys like that. He could certainly put on a few pounds, he’s what, 230 already. Not out of the realm, and really good blocking and pass catching TEs will get paid handsomely.
