Jets Lock in Star RB Hall with Franchise Tag

0:00On April 2nd, the New York Jets stacked their roster deep this off season, fixing most holes on offense and defense. But the big talk is running back Breeze Hall. Their 24-year-old star, who rushed for 1065 yards last season. They slapped him with a franchise tag worth $14,293,000 for 2026, locking him in. Short-term. Earlier this week, Albert Breer from Sports Illustrated said trading hall would catch everyone off-guard. Trading backs on franchise tags just don't fetch top value. And the Jets aren't about to lose another key piece unless it's an offer they can't. Refuse. Jets fans are breathing easier now, knowing Hall's staying put for the start of next season. He's tough to replace after breaking 1,000 yards, and with new coaches, Darren Moogie, and Aaron Glenn building around fresh quarterbacks, they need his expulsiveness. Even if a team dangles a second-round pick, or better, it's not enough to sway them. Breer notes only a first-rounder might tend to deal, but that's rare for any back.

1:04Hall's prime to ball out in green and white, giving the Jets a solid foundation as they push forward this off season. I'm Corey with The Story. That's your NFL News Today update, AI-powered, and always on.
