The Jets are set to waive Lazard on Tuesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

According to Cimini, the Jets are moving on from Lazard in a mutual decision, as the veteran wideout had previously asked to be let go. After accepting an $8.5 million pay cut in the offseason, Lazard is under contract at a palatable $1.75 million base salary for 2025, but it's unclear if any team would want to put in a waiver claim for him and assume the money remaining on his deal. The 30-year-old was already a major disappointment for the Jets in the first two seasons of the four-year, $44 million deal he signed in March 2023, and he's taken an even bigger step back statistically in 2025. Lazard had produced a lowly 10-70-1 receiving line on 18 targets in 10 appearances, and he had been a healthy inactive back in Week 11. With three games left in a non-contending season, the Jets were eager to open up more opportunities for their younger wide receivers rather than continuing to give Lazard reps.

Lazard didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins.

EDGE Analysis

Lazard was targeted exactly once for the second consecutive game, as he remains a non-factor even as the Jets continue to play without Garrett Wilson (knee), who is eligible to return from IR in Week 15 against the Jaguars. Lazard has just nine catches for 64 yards and one touchdown in 2025.

Lazard (neck) caught his only target for 10 yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Falcons.

EDGE Analysis

Lazard suited up after being listed as questionable due to a neck injury that popped up Saturday. He adjusted well to box out his defender and secure a 10-yard catch on a pass that came out funny as Tyrod Taylor was hit as he threw. That was the only target of the game for Lazard, who hasn't exceeded three targets or 16 receiving yards in a game all season ahead of a Week 14 home game against the Dolphins.

Lazard (neck) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

EDGE Analysis

Lazard popped up on the injury report Saturday after practicing without issue earlier in the week. He'll be active for the second consecutive week, though he has yet to see more than three targets in any game this season.

Lazard (neck) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

EDGE Analysis

The injury is a new one for Lazard, as he wasn't listed on the Jets' injury report during Week 13 prep. His status may not be officially known until the Jets announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If Lazard is not cleared to play, then Isaiah Williams, Arian Smith and Tyler Johnson would be the top candidates to see more offensive snaps.

Lazard caught one of three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Ravens.

EDGE Analysis

John Metchie and Adonai Mitchell tied for the team lead with seven targets apiece from Tyrod Taylor, while Lazard was the only other Jets wide receiver to earn a target. Lazard has yet to exceed 16 receiving yards in a game this season, so he'll likely remain a fantasy non-factor in Week 13 against the Falcons, regardless of whether Taylor or Justin Fields starts at quarterback.

Lazard (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns.

EDGE Analysis

While the Jets will make the newly acquired Adonai Mitchell a healthy inactive for Week 10 as he gets up to speed with a new playbook, the return of top wideout Garrett Wilson (knee) from a two-game absence will leave no room in the receiver corps for Lazard on Sunday. Unless injuries to other wideouts on the roster chip away at New York's depth, the veteran Lazard could find himself as a regular on the inactive list in the second half of the season as the 1-7 Jets play out the string and open up more opportunities for their younger receivers.

Lazard caught one of two targets for five yards in Sunday's 39-38 win over the Bengals.

EDGE Analysis

Eight other Jets had more receiving yards than Lazard in Sunday's win. The team will remain shorthanded at wide receiver even if Garrett Wilson (knee) returns after the Week 9 bye, as Josh Reynolds (hip) is on IR, but Lazard is unlikely to fill that void considering he hasn't exceeded 16 yards in a game this season.

Lazard caught two of three targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Lazard played a season-high 56 percent of snaps on offense in the absence of Garrett Wilson (knee), but the veteran wide receiver's contributions were limited as Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor combined to throw for just 172 yards. Even if Wilson remains out against the Bengals in Week 8, Lazard's upside will be capped by the sorry state of the winless Jets' quarterback play.

Lazard (personal) is not listed on the Jets' Week 7 injury report.

EDGE Analysis

Lazard didn't travel with the Jets to London last week due to a personal matter and missed the team's 13-11 loss to the Broncos on Sunday as a result. As this weekend's game against the Panthers approaches, Lazard is not on the Jets' injury report, while fellow WRs Garrett Wilson (knee) and Josh Reynolds (hip) are. With that in mind, Lazard could see added opportunities in Week 7 if both Wilson and Reynolds end up on the team's inactive list.
