Jets Placing Franchise Tag on Breece Hall
The New York Jets are officially placing the franchise tag on impending free-agent running back Breece Hall on Tuesday, sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. The tag in 2026 for RBs is set at $14.29 million. Both sides are motivated to get a long-term deal done by the deadline on July 15, but for now, Hall will be off the free-agent market in 2026. The 24-year-old former second-rounder in 2022 out of Iowa State would have been at the top of the RB market if he had reached free agency after running for a career-high 1,065 yards and four touchdowns on 243 carries in 2025. Hall added 36 receptions for 350 yards and another score in 16 games last year. For fantasy purposes, leaving New York would have been ideal, but Hall will return to Gang Green looking for a second straight 1,000-yard rushing season. It could prove difficult, depending on how the team addresses the quarterback position this offseason. UPDATE: Hall received the non-exclusive tag, which means he'll be able to negotiate with other teams in free agency. However, the Jets have the right to match any offer that Hall might receive. If another team signs Hall, they'd have to give up two first-round picks to the Jets and most likely also have to sign him to a long-term extension.
