5 wide receivers the Green Bay Packers could acquire with Allen Lazard out

1. Jamison Crowder, New York Jets

Crowder missed Week 2 and Week 3 with a hamstring injury. But he returned in Week 3, and had seven receptions for 104 yards (on 10 targets) against the Denver Broncos. He now has over 100 yards in both games he has played this season.

Crowder is a standout among a talented and injury-depleted wide receiver group, and his great rapport with Sam Darnold is clear. But the Jets are 0-4 and going nowhere this year, so trade possibilities may be on the table for GM Joe Douglas in the coming weeks.

Crowder is under contract through 2021, with a $10 million cap hit this year and an $11.5 million cap hit for next year. But it’s very easy to move on next spring, with $10.5 million in clear cap space and just $1 million in dead money if he’s cut any point before or after June 1.

Crowder would surely welcome finally playing on a winning team. And with how well he has produced catching passes from Darnold over the last couple years, what could he do with Rodgers as his quarterback? The Packers should be readying a trade offer to the Jets, as they surely start to survey the wide receiver market on all fronts.
