Jets Lock in Breece Hall with Franchise Tag

The New York Jets have locked in their star running back, Breast Hall, for at least one more season, by placing the non-exclusive franchise tag on him. That means a guarantee $14.29 million. For next year, they met the deadline on Tuesday afternoon, avoiding free agency for the 24-year-old standout. This tag gives Hall the chance to talk offers with other teams, but the Jets can match any deal or get two first round draft picks if they pass. Earlier talks pointed to a cheaper transition tag at $11.3 million, but they went with a stronger option to keep control. Jets' general manager, Darren Moogie, made it clear at last week's scouting combine that they won Hall long-term, no matter what. Hall has voiced some frustration with the team's losing ways and limited carries, but Moogie says conversations have been positive all season. Despite the Jets' rough three-win record last year, Hall had his best season yet, with

Now the two sides can negotiate a bigger extension until mid-July. A trade seems unlikely with a high cost, so expect Hall in green and white for 2026 unless a long-term deal clicks first.
