Jets Lock Up Breece Hall on Three-Year, $45.75 Million Extension

The move underscores the Jets’ plan to build around a proven playmaker, shaping the market for future running back deals.

Overview

  • Hall and the Jets agreed Friday to a three-year, $45.75 million pact that replaces his 2026 franchise tag and runs through 2028.
  • Reports place the guarantees at about $29 million with most paid in the first two years and no guarantees in Year 3.
  • At $15.25 million per year, his pay ranks third among NFL running backs, a benchmark as Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs near extension windows.
  • Hall rushed for a career-best 1,065 yards in 2025 and became the Jets’ first 1,000-yard rusher since 2015, reinforcing his dual-threat value.
  • After the deal was reported, he wrote that he “cried for the first time since I tore my ACL,” reflecting what long-term security means after past trade talk and his 2022 knee injury.
