Jets Confirm Breece Hall Return, Prepared to Use Franchise Tag

Jets GM Darren Moughey confirmed the team's intent to keep RB Breece Hall, stating they will use the franchise ($14.5M) or transition tag ($11.7M) if a long-term extension isn't reached before free agency. Moughey emphasized, "We’ll find a way to keep Breece here." Hall had his first 1,000-yard rushing season in 2025 (1,065 yards, 4 TDs, plus 350 receiving yards, 1 TD in 16 games), missing Week 18 with a knee injury but expected ready for training camp. The Jets, with nearly $80 million in cap space, are adamant about securing his future, effectively taking him off the free-agent market.
