Now they're locking in one of their top players by placing the franchise tag on Running Back Breeze Hall. This move guarantees him $14,293,000 for 2026. With the 2026 NFL Combine wrapped up, the team has fresh insights for the upcoming draft. Tagging Hall helps them focus on bigger needs while keeping a key offensive weapon in place. Fans and analysts see this as a smart step to stabilize the roster amid the rebuild. Hall proved his value last year despite the team's struggles and securing him avoids losing him to free agency. The tag salary is set but could shift if they negotiate a multi-year deal soon. Insiders say that's the real aim here, buying time without rushing. Meanwhile, the Jets shift gears toward draft prep, hoping this keeps their momentum going into next season.
