Allen Lazard says goodbye to Green Bay?

The Green Bay Packers may have a hole to fill at wideout this off-season. 

On Friday, Allen Lazard posted a simple yet poignant Tweet, giving us a possible glimpse into the wide receiver's future. 

Two words might not mean a lot on the surface, but considering Lazard has seemingly had one foot out the door for most of the season, if this is goodbye, it's not a surprise. 

Following the Packers' season finale earlier this month, Lazard sounded like a guy who will be playing elsewhere next season. 

"Going into the game, I kind of had a realization that my first game here and potentially my last game, which it is, was going to be against the Lions at home," Lazard told reporters.

Lazard is coming off one of his best seasons as a Packer. In 15 games, Lazard recorded career highs in targets (100), receptions (60), and receiving yards (788), to go along with six touchdowns, two behind his career best. 

If the 27-year-old is leaving the Packers, it may also hint at quarterback Aaron Rodgers's decision. Last week, while dismissing the idea of being part of a rebuild, Rodgers mentioned a handful of teammates, Lazard included, that he wanted to finish his career around. If Lazard and others are on their way out of Green Bay, it might signal the end of Rodgers' time too.
