The New York Jets made some noise around the NFL world regarding running back Breece Hall.
Visit sportbet.reviews for more information.
Hall, 24, had the franchise tag slapped on him in early March by the team. Weeks rolled on, the 2026 NFL Draft came and went, and no long-term extension came down.
Until now.
Because many in the football world did not expect it to happen, heads were turned in New York and across contract when the news was announced. Hall had inked a three-year contract extension to remain with the Jets.
With Hall back in the fold alongside wide receiver Garrett Wilson, plus offseason additions from veteran quarterback Geno Smith to first-round rookie playmakers Kenyon Sadiq and Omar Cooper Jr... are the Jets actually cooking something promising on offense?
Plenty around the NFL now sure are optimistic.
Here is a national media reaction rounduip to the Jets' extension with Hall:
Reaction: Breece Hall extension
After locking up Breece Hall, the #Jets have ideal surrounding personnel to drop a young QB into. Two bookend tackles in Fashanu and Membou. Garrett Wilson + newly drafted Omar Cooper Jr. and the TE duo of Mason Taylor and Kenyon Sadiq.

The #Jets and star RB Breece Hall have a deal, extending him long-term rather than have him play on the tag.

Breece Hall's $15.25M APY would make him the third-highest paid running back, behind Saquon Barkley ($20.6M) and Christian McCaffrey ($19M). #Jets

Why did so many people forget what Breece Hall did last time he had a QB that would actually dump it off?

Breece Hall extension is a stamp that he’s a foundation piece part for Jets now and in new era + a clear sign of Jets GM Darren Mougey new process to show light at end of tunnel and not just selling hope.
