The New York Jets have placed a non-exclusive franchise tag on running back Breeze Hall, locking him in for $14,200,000, $93,000 this season. This move gives the Jets until July 15th to negotiate a long-term extension, or hall plays the year under the tag. The team wants to hold on to their key player and avoid losing him in free agency, buying time for a bigger deal. With this tag, other teams can talk to Hall, but the Jets can match any offer, and rivals would owe two first round draft picks if they sign them away. Experts doubt any team will chase that cost, and while a holdout is possible next year without a deal, history shows it rarely pays off for players.
