This could be the biggest clue yet that Aaron Rodgers is leaning towards accepting a trade to the Jets.
The team is actively working to sign Rodgers’ Packers target, Allen Lazard, in free agency, ESPN.com reports.
There is another team involved in the pursuit of Lazard, who had 169 catches in five seasons in Green Bay.
That includes a career-high 60 receptions last season for the 27-year-old.
It is believed that Lazard is closely monitoring Rodgers’ decision, along with the rest of the NFL world.
Rodgers remained quiet on the first day of NFL free agency, even as the Jets and Packers are stuck in limbo with roster moves waiting for the 39-year-old to decide his NFL future.

Much like everybody else, Allen Lazard is waiting to see what Aaron Rodgers is going to do,” NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo said on Monday.
“He’s got to make the call for his future and a long-term deal, potentially. He’d love to continue to play with Rodgers, potentially, if it lines up.”
