Allen Lazard had some brief Aaron Rodgers-Jets doubt: ‘What the f–k, bro?’

In hindsight, the first sure sign that Aaron Rodgers was coming to the Jets should have been receiver Allen Lazard’s free-agent signing.

Though he couldn’t admit his knowledge at the time, Lazard revealed Thursday that when he reached an agreement on March 14 to leave the Packers for the Jets, he was pretty certain Rodgers eventually would be making the same move.

Except for one moment of doubt as the trade talks between the Packers and Jets dragged on until April 24.

“There was probably an eight-hour period of time where I was like, ‘What the f–k, bro?’” Lazard said to a chorus of laughter after the first practice of training camp. “And he was like, ‘It’s going to happen.’ I was like, ‘Alright.’ We obviously had a very deep conversation and talked about the possibilities of where he would go, where I would go.”

Lazard signed a four-year, $44 million free-agent contract that wound up as the biggest signed by any receiver during free agency this offseason.

He totaled 169 catches for 2,236 yards and 20 touchdowns over 57 games — mostly with Rodgers at quarterback — with the Packers. 

“Not to say that him going here was the only reason why I came here or me coming here was the only reason why he didn’t want to retire or stay in Green Bay, but I knew he was doing everything he could do,” Lazard said. “A lot of the hype around, ‘Why is it not happening?’ Well, he had no control. He would’ve [moved] way before then.”

Lazard and Rodgers were training together in California at the time.

“I was seeing him at least 2-3 times a week, so maybe if I wasn’t there, I would’ve been a little more worried,” Lazard said. “But I was pretty confident.”

Another of Rodgers’ favorite targets, Randall Cobb, waited until after the quarterback was traded to join the Jets.
