The Facts: Lazard signed his tender today per source.
Diehards Line:
Lazard was tendered as a restricted free agent this offseason. Getting him to sign is is obviously a positive. The Packers need Lazard in 2022. He is coming off career-high marks in all the key categories -- targets, receptions, receiving yards, touchdowns and fantasy points -- but that was only enough for a 47th-place finish. He was also busy near the goal line (he tied for eighth in the NFL with 12 end-zone targets). The key here is path to workload. While rookie Christian Watson will have an immediate opportunity this summer, with Davante Adams' massive target share out of the way, more than one local observer suggests a healthy Lazard could lead the Aaron Rodgers-led Packers in targets, so he can't be ignored as a late-round flier.
