The New York Jets must make a decision on running back Breece Hall’s future as he is scheduled to hit the free agency market in March.

Retaining Hall would be a logical move from New York, but a fresh start for both sides also makes sense. Stadium Rant’s Cameron Willey predicts Hall will leave the Jets this offseason and sign with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Here is what Willy had to say about Hall and his potential fit in Kansas City:
“Hall will likely leave the New York Jets in free agency, and the Chiefs need a strong run game without Patrick Mahomes under center. Both sides would benefit from each other and will likely make it happen.”
The Chiefs have been interested in Hall dating back to the 2025 trade deadline, so if he hits the market, it’s safe to assume Kansas City will have interest.

Despite playing in an abysmal Jets’ offense, Hall was still productive this season, tallying 1,065 rushing yards and four touchdowns with 350 receiving yards and a score through the air.
Adding Hall to the Chiefs’ offense would give Andy Reid’s offense a dynamic playmaker in the backfield and the explosiveness they’ve lacked for years.
Kansas City is slated to be $54 million under the cap, but general manager Brett Veach can create some cap room by restructuring contracts and making cuts.
Spotrac projects Hall will land a $41 million contract over four seasons, and if the Chiefs have the money to sign the 24-year-old running back, it’s a no-brainer move for Kansas City.
