US EditionNew York Jets Place Franchise Tag on Running Back Breece Hall
The Jets secured running back Breece Hall with a nonexclusive franchise tag worth $14.3 million, maintaining control amid ongoing long-term contract talks.
- On Tuesday, the New York Jets placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on running back Breece Hall ahead of the 4 p.m. ET deadline, guaranteeing a $14.293 million one-year contract.
- After the NFL scouting combine, the Jets' general manager Darren Mougey said they pivoted from a $11.3 million transition tag to a franchise tag after failing to reach a deal after at least two weeks of negotiations, with interest from other teams beyond the cheaper tag.
- Despite team struggles, Hall rushed for a career-high 1,065 yards in 2025 and has 5,040 scrimmage yards in four NFL seasons.
- The Jets retain the right of first refusal and two first-round picks compensation, gaining control and forcing a near-term choice before the March 11 free agency start.
- This is the Jets' first tag since 2021, making Breece Hall one of the NFL's higher-paid running backs and preserving flexibility with over $87 million in cap space.
