The New York Jets<\/a> have built up a strong roster this offseason, adding a ton of talent on both sides of the ball to round out a decent roster that doesn’t have too many glaring holes.<\/p>\n

While the Jets could use another wide receiver for Geno Smith on offense, the running back room is set-in-stone for 2026. At least, that seems to be the case with Breece Hall.<\/p>\n

According to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated<\/a>, the Jets trading Hall, which is seemingly on the table due to his $14.293 million franchise tag, would be a surprise. Jets fans can breathe easy knowing Hall, for now, isn’t going anywhere.<\/p>\n

Jets’ trading Breece Hall would be a surprise<\/p>\n

“I’d be surprised,” Breer writes on a Hall trade. “I just don’t think you can get the sort of value for a running back on a franchise tag that would make it worth everyone’s while to lose another of your best players.”<\/p>\n

If a franchise were to come forward and offer something impossible to refuse, like something as ridiculous as a first-round pick, then the Jets might be willing to deal Hall.<\/p>\n

However, barring such a lofty return, even if it were a second-rounder, the Jets are not expected to be trading Hall this offseason.<\/p>\n

Hall is going to play on his $14,293,000 contract in 2026 if he’s not extended this offseason. It’s a lot for a running back, and it will only get more expensive if the Jets try to franchise tag him again next offseason.<\/p>\n

If he’s not in their long-term plans, trading him for any value at a third-round pick or better makes sense.<\/p>\n

But finding a running back as good as Hall, who finally eclipsed 1,000 rushing yards last year with 1,065 yards on 243 attempts with four touchdowns, is going to be hard.<\/p>\n

Keeping Hall and extending him to a long-term deal might be the best option for the Jets. Darren Mougey and Aaron Glenn need offensive weapons for their new quarterback(s), and Hall is just that.<\/p>\n

They could get something decent back, but not enough to justify parting with the 24-year-old running back. Hall isn’t going anywhere, at least for now, so Jets fans can rest easy knowing Hall will be a Jet for at least the beginning of 2026.<\/p>\n
