The Packers in March extended a second-round tender to Lazard, who was a restricted free agent.

Lazard may have been hoping for a long-term deal, but he ended up signing his tender on Monday.

 

 

 

 

The one-year tender will pay Lazard $3.97 million in 2022. Then he can become a free agent after the season.

Lazard originally went undrafted out of Iowa State.

The Packers signed the 26-year-old in 2018 off of the Jaguars’ practice squad.

He became a scoring threat for Green Bay last season.

In 15 games, Lazard had 40 catches for 513 and 8 touchdowns.

He may enter the 2022 season as Aaron Rodgers’ most trusted receiver considering the losses of Davante Adams and Marquez Valdes-Scantling.
