The New York Jets just locked in their star-running back breeze hall with the franchise tag. It's a one-year deal worth $14,293,000 for the 2026 season. This keeps him off the free-ager market and ensures he's back in green and white. Earlier this week, the deadline hit before the two sides could finalize a long-term extension. Instead of letting him walk, the Jets pulled the trigger on the tag. It's top 10 money for running backs, ranking him right behind guys like Derek Henry. Hall earned this after a breakout 2025 season, where he rushed for 1065 yards. Fans and analysts see him as a key piece for the offense, especially with a new quarterback on the horizon. The tag buys time for more talks on a bigger deal. The Jets have plenty of cap space and can't afford to lose their best back. Hall likely wants that second contract to secure his future.
