"Ideally, we'd find a way to get a deal done and keep Breece around. I've said that for the past year since I got here, Breece is a good player, and we want to find a way to keep him around."
"Hall is coming off a career year, which just so happened to be the final season of his rookie deal. He put up a personal-best 1,065 yards while starting 16 games. It was a return to form for the highly-touted back, whose future was very much in question throughout last season."
"Using the transition or franchise tag would allow the Jets to evaluate the 24-year-old for one more season, though utilizing those options more often than not puts a strain on the relationship between player and organization."
The New York Jets are committed to retaining running back Breece Hall for at least the 2026 season through either a transition tag or franchise tag if contract extension negotiations fail. General Manager Darren Mougey expressed the team's preference to reach a long-term deal with Hall, who just completed a career year with 1,065 rushing yards and 16 starts. Head Coach Aaron Glenn has emphasized Hall's importance to the team's plans. The running back position carries inherent volatility and shorter career longevity compared to other skill positions. The Jets have until March 3 to apply either tag, with the projected franchise tag salary for running backs at $14.5 million. While tagging provides evaluation flexibility, it typically strains player-organization relationships.
