Breece Hall, Jets Finalize Three-Year, $45.75 Million Extension

The structure locks in near-term money to underscore New York’s plan to build around its top back.

Overview

  • The Jets and Hall agreed Friday to a three-year, $45.75 million extension through 2028 that pays $15.25 million per season, ranking third among NFL running backs.
  • The pact includes about $29 million guaranteed, mostly in the first two years, and it replaces the $14.3 million one-year franchise tag set for 2026.
  • Hall, 24, is coming off a career-best 1,065 rushing yards in 2025, the team’s first 1,000-yard season since 2015, while also producing as a receiver.
  • Hall posted emotional messages on social media after the news, saying he cried for the first time since his 2022 ACL tear, closing months of trade speculation and contract uncertainty.
  • The average salary and guarantee design could influence upcoming negotiations for young stars like Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs as teams reset prices for top-tier running backs.
