Breece Hall will be on the New York Jets next season. Could it be his last year in New York?
The New York Jets placed the franchise tag on RB Breece Hall, meaning the playmaker will be on the Jets next season.
Hall's tag is the nonexclusive version ($14.293 million), meaning he can negotiate with other teams and sign an offer sheet. The Jets have the right of first refusal and would receive two first-round draft picks as compensation if they decline to match, a prohibitive price for a running back.
Hall will be on the Jets next season, but NFL analyst Alex Kay of Bleacher Report believes the franchise should part ways with the RB after 2026.
"With the Jets mired in mediocrity and Hall racking up mileage—he's now logged 943 touches since entering the league—a breakup seems inevitable next offseason," Hall wrote. "Keeping Hall around on a market value deal, valued by Spotrac at more than $10 million per season, won't make much sense for a rebuilding franchise."
Hall finished the 2025 season with 1,065 rushing yards, four rushing touchdowns, 36 receptions, 350 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown.
Hall, who turns 25 in May, has 18 rushing touchdowns and nine receiving touchdowns with the Jets, who hired Frank Reich to be their offensive coordinator.
Reich replaces Tanner Engstrand.
The Jets' offense was a walking disaster in 2025. They were 29th in the NFL in points per game and 32nd in passing yards.
Under first-year head coach Aaron Glenn, the Jets became the first team in NFL history to not record a defensive interception and lose five straight games by 23 or more points within a single season.
Hall and the Jets have until July 15 to negotiate a long-term contract. Let's see if one gets done.
New York has the second pick in this year's draft. The franchise is expected to take a QB despite acquiring Geno Smith from the Las Vegas Raiders.
