Allen Lazard and Aaron Rodgers have been separated for the first time since 2018, but that separation might not last much longer. Rumors are running rampant about a potential reunion between the New York Jets receiver and the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback. Adding fuel to the fire, Lazard posted a cryptic message on social media.

In a post made on X on Thursday, the Jets wide receiver made a five-word statement with zero context, raising curiosity. The statement was a call for honesty, but from where or from whom he desired it is a mystery.

"It gets easier with honesty," he posted.

It sounds like the receiver is referencing a relationship in his life. Football fans will be quick to connect it to his situation with the Jets, but it could apply to anyone in his life.

Of course, with the Jets still paying on a $44 million contract (Spotrac) given to Lazard in 2023, his employment situation is likely to be one of the top things on his mind. The contract is set to expire after the season, giving the nearly 30-year-old receiver reason to start pulling anchor mentally as the Jets find themselves on pace for early elimination from the playoff hunt.

Exploring potential landing spots for Allen Lazard

Allen Lazard has already been heavily rumored to rejoin Aaron Rodgers with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but if the Steelers decline to add the receiver, what then? There are still some landing spots that make sense. With the Jets on the precipice of seemingly another multi-year rebuild, Lazard could potentially end up in the AFC as well as the NFC.

One potential landing spot could be the Green Bay Packers. Lazard is already familiar with the processes in Green Bay. With the team's wide receiver room facing injuries, they might benefit from adding a familiar face on a team-friendly deal.

The Denver Broncos also make sense. The team's top receiver is over the age of 30, and the young receivers haven't been able to produce at a consistent pace. The team reportedly already has interest in adding a receiver, as they took a look at Treylon Burks in recent days, so Lazard could fit the mold.

Lastly, the New York Giants make sense as they continue to work in the absence of Malik Nabers. Allen Lazard is already located in New York, and thus wouldn't have to move, which could be a selling point for the receiver. He likely wouldn't be the team's WR1, but he could help boost the depth of the team against opposing depth cornerbacks.
