The New York Jets have some work to do this offseason to rebuild the team following the Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams trade mid-season in 2025.
But, with plenty of draft capital and nearly $80 million in cap space, the Jets can make some fun moves. One of those moves could be with running back Breece Hall, who's set to be a free agent.
However, according to Connor Hughes of SNY, Jets general manager Darren Mougey made a huge announcement with Hall that effectively cements where Hall will wind up this offseason.

"Darren Mougey says that Breece Hall will be with the Jets next season," Hughes reports. "If they can't sign him, then they will tag him. Hall going nowhere."
The Jets are not going to let Hall, their first 1,000-yard rusher (1,065 yards in 2025) since 2015, leave in free agency this offseason.
Whether they work out a multiyear contract extension or not, Hall is staying with the Jets for at least one more season.
There are two tags the Jets could use. A franchise tag would cost roughly $14.5 million for one year of Hall, which, while a lot, would be affordable for the Jets with their huge amount of cap space.

If they decide to use the transition tag, it would cost $11.7 million, a good bit cheaper, but another team could offer Hall a contract, giving the Jets the chance to match it. If they don't, the Jets would get two first-round picks back for letting Hall go.
Whatever path the Jets decide to take, if it's an extension, a franchise tag, or a transition tag, Hall is not going anywhere this offseason. The 24-year-old dual-threat running back is staying with the Jets for the 2026 season.
