Jets lock in Breece Hall with franchise tag, cementing top RB status
The New York Jets placed the NFL franchise tag on running back Breece Hall for the 2026 season, making him about $14.293 million and the fourth-highest-paid at his position; the move keeps Hall in New York while both sides pursue a long-term deal before the July 15 deadline. Hall, 24, has averaged about 978 rushing yards and 56 receptions per year over three seasons, including a 1,065-yard, 4-TD season with 76 receptions last year.
