Breece Hall, Jets agree to three-year deal
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The New York Jets have secured running back Breece Hall’s return through 2026 by placing the franchise tag on him and finalizing a three-year, $45.75 million contract.
- Hall’s average annual salary ranks third among running backs, behind only Saquon Barkley and Christian McCaffrey, with $29 million guaranteed.
- Under the franchise tag, Hall was set to earn $14.293 million, but the new deal provides greater financial security and a longer commitment.
- Last season, Hall rushed 243 times for 1,065 yards and four touchdowns, while his receiving role declined to 36 catches, a trend offensive coordinator Frank Reich may aim to reverse.
- Alongside Hall, Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens and Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts have also signed their franchise tags for 2026, with opportunities to negotiate multi-year contracts by July 15.
