Wide receiver Allen Lazard will be staying with the Jets.
Lazard's future with the team was up in the air after he was given permission to look for a trade earlier this year, but no deal materialized and General Manager Darren Mougey said at last week's league meetings that they were working on having Lazard stick around on a revised contract.
