GREEN BAY, Wis. – Allen Lazard, the closest thing the Green Bay Packers have to a go-to receiver, finally has signed his restricted free agent tender and could practice during the final set of OTAs this week.
With the offseason trade of Davante Adams, Lazard is Green Bay’s leading returning receiver. In 2021, he caught 40-of-59 passes (67.8 percent) for 513 yards (12.8 average) and eight touchdowns.
By comparison, Randall Cobb caught 28 passes for 375 yards and five touchdowns in his return to Green Bay. In his only season with Baltimore, Sammy Watkins caught 27 passes for 394 yards and one touchdown.
