The New York Jets are releasing veteran wide receiver Allen Lazard, according to The Associated Press.
The person, who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity Tuesday because the team didn’t announce the move, said the decision was mutual.
Lazard’s role with the Jets had diminished significantly this season, even as the offense struggled to produce. With three games left in the regular season, the 30-year-old wide receiver will be able to sign elsewhere.
