New York Jets running back Breece Hall has signed a three-year, $45.75 million contract extension, making him the third-highest paid running back in the NFL, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Per @RapSheet, the deal cements Hall as a premier cornerstone for the New York Jets offense. The 24-year-old running back has established himself as one of the league's most dangerous dual-threat weapons since being drafted in 2022. This extension follows a standout campaign where Hall proved his health and durability after returning from a previous ACL injury to lead the team in scrimmage yards.
The new agreement places Hall behind only Christian McCaffrey and Alvin Kamara in terms of average annual value at the position. Since entering the league, the former Iowa State standout has been a focal point of the Jets' offensive strategy, contributing significantly both as a rusher and a receiver out of the backfield. The $15.25 million annual average marks a significant shift in the running back market as the Jets move to secure their star playmaker through his prime years.
By securing Hall with this long-term commitment, the Jets front office continues its trend of retaining homegrown talent. Further details regarding the specific structure of the guaranteed money are expected to emerge as the contract is finalized with the league office.
