GREEN BAY - After he finished last season as their undisputed second receiver, the Green Bay Packers gave Allen Lazard a significant investment Tuesday.
The Packers placed a second-round tender on Lazard, a source confirmed to PackersNews. The tender comes with a $3.986 million salary in 2022, after which Lazard is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent. Lazard can sign an offer sheet with another team until April 22, but that team would be required to send the Packers a second-round pick.
Barring that unlikely event, Lazard will return as the Packers' second receiver behind All-Pro Davante Adams in 2022.
