Jets Lock in Star RB Breece Hall with Franchise Tag

0:00From NFL coverage, this is your March 3rd update. The New York Jets have slapped the franchise tag on star running back Breeze Hall. This keeps him from hitting free agency next week and locks him in for the 2026 season. It's a big move to hold on to their key player. Hall now has options. He could sign a one-year deal worth of about $14 million with the Jets and test free agency again in 2027, or they could tag him again next year, bumping his pay to around $17 million. Fans and analysts see this as a smart play by the Jets, who view Hall as a cornerstone of their offense. He's coming off strong seasons and losing him would hurt their run game big time. Both sides can still push for a long-term contract, but it has to wrap up by July 15th, or he's stuck on that one-year tender. Trades are possible, too, though another team grabbing him with an offer sheet would cost them two first-round picks if the Jets don't match. Most folks expect Hall to stick around long-term in New York.
