Jets To Trade Breece Hall?

The New York Jets had a horror 2024 season, and with a host of key decisions needing to be made, exactly where to start is anyone's guess.

A new head coach and general manager must be signed before anything to do with the roster can be worked through, and then the pair will work through the roster.

Aaron Rodgers looms as the big domino to fall one way or another, and so too does a host of other players like Garrett Wilson and even Davante Adams.

But one name has been thrown up as a trade candidate for the Jets, and it's one that maybe not many have thought of.

ESPN makes a bold prediction about the Jets' offseason dealings: Running back Breece Hall will be traded.

"While receiver Garrett Wilson is the buzzy trade candidate these days, the Jets will end up trading their other young offensive star, Breece Hall," ESPN writes. "It's a bad year for free agent running backs, but some teams will be looking for a similar veteran boost to those the Eagles, Ravens and Packers found on the veteran market last offseason. Hall's injuries are starting to catch up to him, and the Jets would be wise to move on from him early, while he still has some value leaguewide -- especially with young backs Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis showing promise."

Hmm. Moving on from Hall, who still had 876 rushing yards and five touchdowns, along with 483 receiving yards and three touchdowns in what was a bad offense, is an interesting option.

Hall will enter the final year of his rookie contract in 2025, so if the Jets want to get something in return for him, then as ESPN suggests, now would be the time.

But are the Jets ready to fully get behind Braelon Allen as the No. 1 guy? After all, he was a bit-part player behind Hall this season.

Either way, it is an interesting thought, and the Jets may trade away Hall to help rebuild this roster. But don't jump into the decision because while they were fleeting, Hall still showed in stages this season that he has juice.
