According to Pro Football Talk, Packers WR Allen Lazard has signed his exclusive rights free agent tender.
It was basically a formality but this officially puts Lazard under contract in Green Bay for 2021.
Lazard, 25, wound up signing on with the Jaguars as an undrafted free agent out of Iowa State back in 2018. He agreed to a three-year, $1.71 million contract with the Jaguars, but was waived coming out of the preseason.
The Jaguars later re-signed Lazard to their practice squad after he cleared waivers. From there, he joined the Packers towards the end of the 2018 season and was on and off of their roster in 2019 before signing a one-year deal as exclusive rights free agent each of the past two offseasons.
In 2020, Lazard appeared in 10 games and recorded 33 receptions for 451 yards (13.7 YPC) and three touchdowns, to go along with two rushing attempts for 17 yards (8.5 YPC).
