“Of all these scenarios, this feels like the biggest smokescreen,” Rosenblatt wrote. “The Jets are not a running back away from contention, especially considering they already have a running back in the fold who they view highly enough that they used the franchise tag to retain him.”<\/p>\n
Jets unlikely to trade Breece Hall, draft Jeremiyah Love![\"New](\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/01knpnm41b5akfyyrj4t.jpg\" "\\"New")

This offseason, the Jets have been very public about their commitment to Hall as their running back. They’ve made a lot of reassuring comments while working on a contract extension. It would be shocking to see them backtrack on this idea and cut ties with him.<\/p>\n
“It would be genuinely shocking if, after everything Mougey and Glenn have said publicly and privately, they turned around and not only traded Hall but used the No. 2 pick on a running back,” Rosenblatt wrote. “More likely, the Love meeting was a smokescreen to get the juices flowing for some of the other teams drafting in the Top 10 who might want to add Love \u2014 perhaps the Giants or Commanders.”<\/p>\n
Backtracking and cutting ties with Hall would crush the reputation of the Jets’ front office. It would be hard to recover from public lies like that. As a result, it’s pretty easy to assume they’re serious about wanting to sign Hall to a long-term extension after the NFL draft.<\/p>\n
“Mougey will re-engage with Hall and his representation after the draft and there is some optimism on both sides that a deal will be reached, though that is far from a guarantee,” Rosenblatt wrote. “The deadline for a new contract is July 15, just ahead of training camp, and if no deal is signed by then Hall will have to play on the franchise tag ($14.29 million) or hold out.”<\/p>\n
A new deal with Hall could happen at any time, though it’s more likely to come together after the draft. He could be looking for close to $50 million on a new deal this offseason.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The New York Jets have plenty of draft capital to build the future of their team this offseason,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":861028,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2051],"tags":[7,226,1917,255,2321,2097,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-861027","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-jets","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-jets","10":"tag-new-york","11":"tag-new-york-jets","12":"tag-newyork","13":"tag-newyorkjets","14":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116369528537235451","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/861027","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=861027"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/861027\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/861028"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=861027"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=861027"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=861027"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
