New York Jets running back Breece Hall looked dejected after the team fell at the hands of the Dallas Cowboys at MetLife Stadium.

After Hall ran for 114 yards on 14 carries, he took his frustrations out on the media.

It wasn’t malicious, like most media vent-sessions are, it just seemed like Hall was broken, and he was tired of trying to make something happen that just won’t.

The average running back career typically lasts 2.57 years and Hall, the four-year veteran who is 24 years old, and entering unrestricted free agency next season, understands that his clock is ticking.

“I’m in my fourth year,” Hall said after the Cowboys loss, “and I don’t have a lot of time left to prove what I want to do and who I can be in this league.”  

Running backs, because of how much punishment they take, its likely that after a team pays them top dollar, the productivity seems to decline.

We've seen it a lot in the past.

Shaun Alexander, Chris Johnson, Le'Veon Bell, Priest Holmes, etc.

The only outliers of recent memory have been Christian McCaffrey, Derrick Henry, and Saquon Barkley. However, Barkley with his old team, the New York Giants, were hesitant on giving him a hefty contract, because of his injury history with the team.

After he left and went to Philadelphia though, he won Offensive Player of the Year and captured a Super Bowl.

For teams, there are always going to be running backs coming through the door, whether it be the Draft or off the practice squad. College football is loaded with them, and it’s a game that has historically been run-heavy. 

So Hall, who has been quite durable since missing most of his rookie season with a torn ACL, knows that if the Jets can’t provide him the kind of success he was expecting when he came into town, it may be time to move elsewhere.

New York has a solid list of running backs that are rather reliable. Braelon Allen, while sidelined with a knee injury for most of the season, is young back with intriguing size and speed. And it also has Isaiah Davis, who as a third stringer, has shown to be serviceable when called upon.

Not only that, quarterback Justin Fields can put on the burners and gain plenty of yards  as well.

With an 0-5 start to the season and after those comments, is Hall discreetly trying to tell Jets brass that he would welcome a move?

ESPN’s Rich Cimini, who covers the Jets, wrote that the team hasn’t given an indication that they’re looking to shop Hall, and that a contract extension could still be on the table.

But at that point, you have to wonder if Hall even wants that. If he doesn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, then why should the Jets even want to bring him back?

You can always bring a dejected player back to the good side, it’s the consistent distracting players that you need to worry about. Hall doesn’t seem to be that kind of person.

The NFL’s trade deadline is at 4 p.m. ET on November 4, so the Jets have about a month to prove to Hall that they’re on the right track to creating a winning culture.

If not, they risk losing him for nothing.
