The New York Jets could keep running back Breece Hall<\/a> after all, per Pro Football Talk\u2019s Mike Florio. Florio reported the Jets have the option to use the transition tag.<\/p>\n

Of course, New York could use the franchise tag or negotiate a new deal with the former Iowa State<\/a> star. If none of the options occur, Hall will become a free agent.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a little-used device that gives a player\u2019s current team the right to match an offer sheet, with no compensation if the offer sheet isn\u2019t matched,\u201d Florio wrote<\/a>. \u201cThe 2026 transition tag for running backs is expected to land in the range of $11.5 million to $11.9 million. If accepted, it becomes fully guaranteed \u2014 and it puts the player under contract for the coming year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s another important factor to consider. If a team applies the transition tag and doesn\u2019t match an offer sheet, the player\u2019s departure doesn\u2019t count toward the next year\u2019s slate of compensatory draft picks. If Hall simply exits as a free agent, it does.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hall could command a good amount of money in the open market. And with the Jets in what seems to be a continuous rebuild, perhaps exploring other options might be smart, so long as he\u2019s not tagged by New York.<\/p>\n

2025 was the fourth season for Hall in New York. He set a career high in rushing yards with 1,065 yards, four touchdowns, 36 catches, 350 receiving yards and one touchdown reception. All told, Hall\u2019s career totals are: 3,398 yards, 18 touchdowns, 4.5 yards per carry, 188 catches, 1,642 receiving yards and nine touchdown receptions.<\/p>\n

The Jets selected Hall with the No. 36 overall pick (2nd round) in the 2022 NFL Draft out of Iowa State. With the Cyclones, he was unanimous All-American (2020), Consensus All-American (2021), the NCAA rushing yards leader (1,572 in 2020) and a two-time Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year.<\/p>\n

As a member of the Class of 2019, Hall was a four-star recruit out of Wichita (Kansas) Northwest, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking<\/a>. He was the No. 3 overall prospect in the state, the No. 31 running back in the class and the No. 359 overall prospect in the class.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The New York Jets could keep running back Breece Hall after all, per Pro Football Talk\u2019s Mike Florio.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":770589,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2051],"tags":[12803,7,226,1917,255,2321,2097,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-770588","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-jets","8":"tag-breece-hall-19-northwest","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-jets","11":"tag-new-york","12":"tag-new-york-jets","13":"tag-newyork","14":"tag-newyorkjets","15":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116118627941941209","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/770588","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=770588"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/770588\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/770589"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=770588"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=770588"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=770588"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
