According to information from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Breece Hall and the New York Jets have finalized a new contract, reportedly a three-year agreement valued at $45.75 million. The talented back subsequently verified the pact between himself and the team via a post on his X social media profile.
While Hall was initially slated to participate in the 2026 season playing under the terms of the franchise tag, the New York organization opted to lock him into a contract for the upcoming three-year period.
The player, who is currently 24 years old, had been positioned to explore free agency opportunities for the inaugural time in his professional journey after the conclusion of the 2025 NFL campaign. Having been chosen in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft, Hall was not privy to the highly sought-after fifth-year option typically afforded to first-round selections.
The running back accumulated 1,065 rushing yards along with four scores on the ground in the previous season, additionally contributing 350 receiving yards and one aerial touchdown.
Hall did not have the opportunity to gauge his market value in free agency because the Jets utilized the franchise tag designation on him, thereby guaranteeing his continued presence with the organization for a minimum of an additional year. With this agreement, he now ranks as the NFL’s third-highest remunerated running back.
The Jets find themselves in a compelling situation, working toward a restructuring effort during head coach Aaron Glenn’s sophomore year leading the team. This offseason, the New York club has enhanced various aspects of its roster by selecting EDGE David Bailey, TE Kenyon Sadiq, and WR Omar Cooper Jr. with their trio of first-round selections in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Anticipating the commencement of the 2026 campaign, the Jets are projected to feature seasoned signal-caller Geno Smith as their starting quarterback, following his acquisition from the Las Vegas Raiders. Within the offensive unit, he will be joined by Hall, Garrett Wilson, Adonai Mitchell, Cooper, and Sadiq, as New York aims to elevate its performance beyond the 3-14 standing recorded in 2025.
