NFL News: Jets catch heat at running back

NEWYou can now listen to Pakinomist articles!

New York Jets running back Breece Hall appeared to take a subtle shot at the team on Monday as the franchise reportedly reached agreements with several defenders at the start of free agency.

The Jets placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on Hall last week, preventing him from becoming a restricted free agent. Hall is allowed to negotiate with other teams and sign an offer sheet, but the team has the right of first refusal.

As free agency began, Hall noticed the team agreeing to deals with defensemen.

The Jets have reportedly acquired defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick from the Miami Dolphins and will sign a three-year, $40 million deal with the team. New York also signed linebacker Demario Davis to a two-year, $22 million deal and defensive end Joseph Ossai to a three-year, $36 million contract, according to multiple reports.

“Damn, we sure got a lot of money in Florham Park, all these contracts guys sign,” Hall wrote on X with three crying-laughing emojis.

The two parties have until July 15 to reach a long-term agreement. If they can’t agree on a deal by then, Hall will play out the 2026 season with a $14.293 million cap hit.

Hall rushed for 1,065 yards and four touchdowns last season in 16 games. He also had 36 catches for 350 yards and a touchdown for a 3-14 Jets team.
