"Following the Buffalo Bills' loss Monday night, the Patriots now sit atop the AFC East and have playoff contention in their hands. People have begun to speculate about trade possibilities, as New England have shown they can compete with the best. NFL teams have until November 4 to make trades. ESPN and New England Patriots reporter Mike Reiss tweeted his thoughts following Sunday's win this morning, along with one trade target he has in mind: New York Jets running back Breece Hall."
"Hall is in the last year of his rookie contract, earning $3.4 million this year. Treveyon Henderson is looking like he could be the long-term option for the Patriots, so being able to trade for Hall this year and then deciding whether to keep him next season or not is appealing. While this expiring contract could make him cheaper, the Jets being an AFC rival could bump the price back up."
Patriots sit atop the AFC East after the Bills' loss and hold playoff contention, prompting trade speculation before the November 4 deadline. Breece Hall is a potential target because he is on the final year of his rookie contract, earning $3.4 million, which could lower acquisition cost and offer short-term upside. Treveyon Henderson projects as a possible long-term running back, making a one-year acquisition appealing for evaluation. Divisional trades may carry a premium because the Jets are an AFC rival, and teams often avoid helping division opponents, though past intra-division trades have occurred.
