The Jets have placed the 2026 non-exclusive franchise tag on RB Breece Hall.
The non-exclusive tag allows Hall to negotiate with other NFL teams, but the Green & White are ensured the right to match any offer he receives. If Hall agrees to an offer that the Jets don’t match, the team acquiring him will be required to send the Jets two-first round picks as compensation.
Last season, Hall rushed for 1,065 yards last season while becoming the first Jet since Chris Ivory in 2015 to reach 1,000 rush yards. Of the 19 1,000-yard seasons in franchise history, Hall’s 4.38 yards per carry average was the sixth highest. The dual threat RB also hauled in 36 receptions for 350 yards, totaling 1,415 yards from scrimmage and 5 TDs.
According to Stats Pass, Hall recorded 26 explosive plays (12-plus rush, 16-plus receiving) in 2024-25. His 21 explosive runs and 5 explosive receptions placed him eighth among all RBs, joining the likes of Keneth Walker III and six Pro Bowlers (De’Von Achane, Bijan Robinson, James Cook, Jonathan Taylor, Christian McCaffrey and Jahmyr Gibbs).
Hall, a second-round pick (No. 36 overall) of the Jets in the 2022 NFL Draft, has amassed 5,040 yards from scrimmage while becoming one of just 11 running backs to total 5,000-plus over the past four seasons. Among players on that list, Hall is the third-youngest, behind Robinson and Gibbs.
