Jets Shift Toward Keeping Breece Hall After Cap-Clearing Trades

Insiders point to a cap windfall plus rising leadership as factors steering New York toward keeping its top rusher.

Overview

  • Breece Hall posted a Thanksgiving message on X that included “Thankful for the Jets,” signaling public gratitude toward the team.
  • SNY’s Connor Hughes reported the Jets have changed their stance on Hall after dealing Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams, citing increased 2026–27 cap space and Hall’s vocal leadership.
  • Retention pathways under discussion include the franchise tag or a multiyear extension, with Hall otherwise set to hit free agency this offseason.
  • At the deadline, the Chiefs reportedly offered a 2026 fourth-round pick for Hall, but the Jets sought a 2026 third-rounder and no trade occurred.
  • Through 11 games, Hall has 766 rushing yards and two touchdowns plus 28 catches for 301 yards, even as The Athletic notes his pass-game usage has declined compared with prior seasons.
