NEW YORK (CBS 58) -- The New York Jets have acquired wide receiver Allen Lazard on a four-year, $44 million contract that includes $22 million guaranteed -- according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. 

Can confirm four-year deal for Allen Lazard to #Jets, as @Schultz_Report said. Jets zeroed in on him early, and now two of the top receivers in free agency (Lazard and Jakobi Meyers) have agreed to terms at more than $10M per year.

The Jets have a crop of good young wide receivers, and with the potential to bring on Lazard, there's speculation it's a move to lure Aaron Rodgers to New York.
