Breece Hall breaks silence on impending Jets free agency

One of the most high-profile New York Jets free agents is starting running back Breece Hall. After four eventful seasons in New York, Hall is set to test the market, that is, unless the Jets slap the franchise tag on him.

There are two ways you can use one of the NFL's exclusive negotiating rights tags: you either "place" it on a player, or "slap" them with the tag. In the latter's case, there's typically a negative connotation with it.

In most cases, players don't like the franchise tag. It's a one-year, guaranteed contract with no long-term stability, and the running back position has been the poster child for franchise-tagging for years now.

If the Jets can't come to terms with Hall on a deal that makes sense for the team, it's incredibly likely he's slapped with said tag, and in a recent interview with the New York Post's Erich Richter, the running back sounded very accepting and prepared for whatever his impending free agency has to offer him.

Jets' Breece Hall takes an 'it is what it is approach' to free agency

In an event at an A&S Sports store on Long Island, Richter asked Hall about what he expects from his first free agency.

"You know, I'm just where my feet are and letting, you know, God and my agent handle everything else...I feel like my play speaks for itself, considering the situations I've been in the last few years, you know, I'm gonna get everything that's coming to me, so I'm not too worried about it."

Then Hall was asked if he feels good about signing a long-term extension with the Jets, and he once again gave a blasé faire response.

"You know, I don't know. I've addressed this for like, you know, the last like six, seven months now. But now I'm just kind of just like...whatever happens happens."

Clearly, Hall is ready for whatever outcome is coming his way this offseason, and it's possible he'll have a better understanding of his future soon.

The franchise tag window opened on February 17, and it remains open until March 3. It's widely expected to heat up this week as all 32 teams head to the NFL Scouting Combine.

There, general managers and agents can meet face-to-face and begin having discussions on internal and external free agents. Many believe that the Jets will tag Hall, but there's also a chance New York could ink him to an extension after retaining his rights.
