In the latest episode of The Jet Press Podcast, Justin Fried and Mike Luciano discuss the Breece Hall extension, the New York Jets’ running back room as a whole, Cade Klubnik’s aura, and the upcoming 2026 schedule release.

The show started with a discussion about Breece Hall’s three-year, $45.75 million extension that he signed earlier this week. The discussion focused on Hall’s bounce-back 2025 campaign, whether the Jets made the right decision committing long-term money, and what expectations should look like for him moving forward as he enters his fifth NFL season

Justin and Mike also took a closer look at the rest of the Jets’ running back room, debating the futures of Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis, discussing which young back they trust more behind Hall, and evaluating whether any undrafted rookies — including former Toledo standout Chip Trayanum — could emerge as legitimate contributors this summer.

The conversation then shifted to rookie quarterback Cade Klubnik and the growing buzz surrounding him following Jets rookie minicamp this past weekend. More specifically, Klubnik’s aura.

From the Chad Pennington comparisons to the attention surrounding his leadership and overall presence, the hosts discussed why Jets fans are already intrigued by the rookie quarterback and what a realistic outlook for his first NFL season could be.

Finally, the episode wrapped up with a conversation about the NFL schedule release and whether it actually deserves the level of hype it receives every year. Does the schedule release…actually matter?

Justin and Mike discussed what Jets fans should actually take away from the upcoming release, why most early schedule reactions are meaningless, and which aspects of the schedule genuinely matter entering the 2026 season.
