Overview
- The NFL's two-week tagging period is underway, and reporting from The Athletic suggests the Jets are likely to apply either the non-exclusive franchise tag or the transition tag to Hall.
- The non-exclusive franchise tag for running backs is projected at about $14.1 million for 2026, with a potential second tag in 2027 estimated at $16.92 million.
- ESPN's Rich Cimini reports the team wants to keep Hall long term and that the running back is targeting roughly $12.25 million per year, a figure seen as workable given New York's reported cap space near $80 million.
- ESPN's Aaron Schatz relays a league sense that Hall would prefer to join a more successful team, though a tag would prevent him from reaching free agency immediately.
- A tag-and-trade has been floated in coverage after prior interest, including a reported 2025 fourth-round offer from the Chiefs, with the scouting combine expected to clarify the market.
