The New York Jets have been one of the teams that contending teams will call ahead of the 2026 NFL Trade Deadline on Nov. 10 at 4 pm ET. They have not been afraid to make moves to help the franchise going forward, and have some players who could be potential difference-makers for a contending team. Let’s take a closer look at one player who has been in the trade rumors this season and what the New York Jets have publicly said about it.
New York Jets shut down the Breece Hall trade rumors

The New York Jets have a lot of young talent, but that has not translated to much winning recently. With the team looking at a 16th consecutive season of not making the postseason as they sit with a 2-6 record after Week 8’s loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, there has been speculation about possible moves.
One of the key names in the trade rumors has been running back Breece Hall, who signed a three-year, $43.5 million franchise tag extension this offseason. On Monday, Jets coach Aaron Glenn shut down the rumors of Hall being moved by next week:
“Guys, listen, Breece is still a part of this team. I understand how the noise happens when things like this happen. I’ve said it before, we’re in the business of keeping good players and he’s one of our better players. So Breece will still be here.”
The conversation has escalated over the last few weeks as backup running back Braelon Allen has been excellent as the New York Jets wait for Hall’s return as he recovers from a quadriceps injury suffered in Week 3 against the Detroit Lions. Hall is expected to return this week against the Kansas City Chiefs, which is a welcome addition to the New York Jets as they look to snap their losing streak.
Hall has recorded 51 rushing attempts for 163 yards (3.2 yards per carry) with a rushing touchdown and 10 receptions for 102 yards (10.2 yards per catch). However, do not expect Glenn’s comments to stop teams from calling. General manager Darren Mougey has shown he is not afraid to trade significant talent, trading away cornerback Ahmed “Sauce” Gardner to the Indianapolis Colts and defensive tackle Quinnen Williams to the Dallas Cowboys at the last trade deadline.
That is a major reason for the New York Jets to be more excited about their future, as the two first-round picks they acquired in those trades for the 2027 NFL Draft are both currently slated to be in the top 10. It will be intriguing to see if the team decides to trade away Hall or if he will remain with the New York Jets for the remainder of the season.
