Allen Lazard insists Aaron Rodgers WILL join the Jets, despite talks with the Packers dragging on... as the wide receiver insists the QB 'has FULL-ON commitment' to head to New York

Newly-signed Jets receiver Allen Lazard is not concerned about trade talks for Aaron Rodgers stalling as he said the quarterback has a 'full-on commitment' to joining him in New York.

Rodgers said last week on the Pat McAfee Show that he wanted to play for the Jets, but New York and Green Bay have yet to hash out a deal for the four-time MVP.

And while the Jets have reportedly balked so far at the Packers' trade demands for the star, Lazard is confident the deal will be ironed out soon enough. 

'There's no worry on my end,' the wide receiver told TMZ Sports.

Though Rodgers' future remains in limbo for now - with the Packers asking for a 'first-round pick and more' according to ProFootballTalk- Lazard is already a Jet after penning a four year, $44million contract last week.

And he admitted that his longtime quarterback's intention of playing for the Jets was a 'big reason' why he made the move himself.

'Sunday's what you guys see on TV, it's only the tip of the iceberg,' Lazard said.

'I wanna know that Monday through Saturday, I'm waking up and I'm going to work and I'm grinding with people that I love and care about. And that are gonna do the same thing for me.'

Lazard also noted that he expects Rodgers to bring a championship pedigree and attitude to the Jets - who haven't won a Super Bowl since 1969.   

'Just knowing his aura, I think will light a fire underneath a lot of guys in that locker room to really focus, to really lock in and ultimately sacrifice things that we love and care about to be able to achieve this ultimate goal,' he said.

However, the 27-year-old noted that 'probably the biggest piece of the puzzle' was Nathaniel Hackett, the Jets' new offensive coordinator who Lazard worked with for four years between the Jaguars practice squad and Green Bay.

For now, Lazard will have to wait longer yet for his old teammate to join him.

ESPN's Adam Schefter said on Wednesday that there had been no movement in the deal.

'The Jets feel like they're offering a lot. The Packers feel like [the Jets] are not offering enough, and the two sides are left at a standstill,' he said.

It's not just Rodgers that the Jets could be adding to their offense, though.

Odell Beckham Jr. has previously refused to rule out signing with Gang Green, and Lazard would love to have the Super Bowl LVI winner on his side.

'His talent is just endless,' he said. 

'So adding him to the room I think would be a huge addition, it'd be special for our entire locker room. And  would definitely be excited and honored to play alongside with him.'
