The Jets will not make the proposed offseason trade sending Allen Lazard to Pittsburgh in 2025.
First call: Jun 5, 2025, 9:06 PM ET · Deadline: Sep 7, 2025, 1:00 PM ET · Historical archive
“Lazard is a solid wr 3/4 and took a huge pay cut to stay here. Hes not going anywhere. The Steelers made it pretty clear that Rodgers had to run their offense with their players. The days of Rodgers having say and bringing in his guys are over. That didnt work.”OPEN THE ORIGINAL POST ↗
What we’re scoring
Second-pass original and evidence adjudication. Preserve all qualifiers and the first clear source; later linked revisions add no independent scoring weight.
The ruling
The Jets retained Lazard through the 2025 offseason and opener. Their official transaction log records his eventual release on December 16, not a trade to Pittsburgh. The captured thread and immediate replies discuss the current June Steelers trade rumor; the opener bounds review of that offseason episode, not a verbatim author deadline.

Predicted trade/destination did not occur in the active deadline window. Maybe a seventh is a speculative valuation, not another definite price call.

The Jets retained Lazard past the November 4 deadline and released him from their active roster on December 16, 2025.

Predicted trade/destination did not occur in the active deadline window. Maybe a seventh is a speculative valuation, not another definite price call. Jev advisory reviewed: Reviewed full public roster-export context: purge after London for draft capital now, not an unspecified lifetime exit. That supplies the current 2025 trade window for Quinnen, Quincy, Lazard, Hall and McDonald. Reject Jev fidelity objections to inferred deadline normalization on those grounds. Quinnen trade correct, Quincy and Lazard trades incorrect, Hall and McDonald retention correct. Preserve earlier Quinnen forecast with later offseason-timing revision rather than scoring a second departure. Compensation ceiling on Quinnen incorrect. Hall extension-or-tag correct. McDonald hypothetical compensation is void because no trade occurred, consistent with Jev insufficient rather than a vacuous won bet. Maybe-seventh Quincy/Lazard amounts remain possibilities, not separate firm predictions.

The June 6 no-Steelers-trade original and same-day explicit before-Week-1 denial address the same current Lazard trade episode. Preserve the separately approved earlier June 6 negative original and correct verdict under the destination legacy key. The later October positive Pittsburgh forecast remains a reversal; do not score the two June denials independently.
