The Green Bay Packers will officially have Allen Lazard in the fold for the 2022 season.
The veteran wide receiver officially signed his one-year restricted free agent tender today, according to reports. Lazard will make $3.986 million for this season.
Lazard took his time before signing the contract, skipping OTAs and minicamp. But, he’s locked in now and should be a major part of Green Bay’s receiving corps this fall.
In fact, as of today, Lazard is the Packers’ No. 1 wideout, which is a major opportunity for him to prove himself before entering free agency next year.
Overall, 2022 will be a major opportunity for Lazard to prove he is deserving of big money next offseason, from the Packers or another team.
Lazard is coming off a year in which he set personal records in receptions (40), receiving yards (513) and receiving touchdowns (eight).
