On March 17, 2023, Lazard signed a four-year, $44 million contract with the New York Jets, preceding Rodgers' trade to New York from the Packers.[80] In 14 games in the 2023 season, he finished with 23 receptions for 311 yards and one touchdown,[81] playing without Rodgers under center for the vast majority of the season as the latter suffered a season-ending Achilles injury in week 1.[82] With his signing seen by many as an "appeasement" move to get Rodgers to agree to the trade, Lazard was deactivated when Rodgers was ruled out the last two games of the season.[83] He finished the 2023 season with 23 receptions for 311 yards and a touchdown.[84]

The following season, Lazard caught Rodgers' first touchdown pass as a Jet during week 1. Despite dropping a crucial pass during the game's opening drive, Lazard finished with two touchdowns during the 32–19 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.[85] In the first six games of 2024 alone, Lazard surpassed his total receptions and yards from the previous season and caught five touchdowns. On October 31, 2024, Lazard was placed on injured reserve due to a chest injury.[86] He was activated on December 7.[87] He finished the 2024 season with 37 receptions for 530 yards and six touchdowns.[88]
