Expected Breece Hall trade value revealed and Jets fans won’t be happy

Breece Hall was once viewed as a cornerstone of the New York Jets' offense. Just one year ago, he was coming off a breakout season that saw him finish fourth in the NFL in scrimmage yards while operating in the league’s second-worst scoring offense.

But fast-forward to Day 2 of the 2025 NFL Draft, and Hall's long-term future in New York is very much in doubt. Trade rumors surrounding Hall have lingered throughout the offseason, and now, a new report has shed light on what his market might actually look like.

And Jets fans probably aren't going to like it.

NFL insider Benjamin Allbright reported Thursday that Hall’s trade value around the league is shockingly low, stating that he doesn't believe any team would give more than a Day 3 pick for the former second-rounder.

NY Jets likely wouldn't get much in a Breece Hall trade

The Jets don’t appear to be actively shopping Hall, but with young backs Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis already on the roster, and the possibility of another addition in this draft, it’s fair to wonder if Hall has already played his final game in New York.

The former Iowa State star was genuinely one of the best running backs in football in 2023, finishing behind just Christian McCaffrey, Tyreek Hill, and CeeDee Lamb in total scrimmage yards.

But in a season full of disappointments for the Jets in 2024, Hall may have been the biggest letdown. After an electric 2023 campaign that firmly reestablished him as one of the league's most dynamic playmakers, Hall struggled to find consistency last year.

He battled efficiency issues, ball security problems, and failed to produce at the level fans had come to expect. The regression was especially glaring given the high expectations entering the season.

Hall finished the year with six fumbles and nine drops, a stark contrast from the three total fumbles he logged over his first two seasons combined. He averaged just 4.2 yards per carry despite running behind an offensive line that was significantly improved from 2023, and he drew vocal criticism from members of the Jets' former coaching staff.

Combine that with the fact that he's set to be a free agent next offseason, and it's not difficult to figure out why his trade value would be low. The running back position is fickle and volatile. Success is fleeting. It's possible some NFL teams believe Hall's best days are already behind him.

Is that how the new Jets regime feels? That remains to be seen. Jets general manager Darren Mougey shut down Hall trade rumors when asked the question on Friday, but press conferences aren't always a great indicator of truth.

Trading Hall now would mean selling low on a player who, just a year ago, was considered one of the league’s brightest young stars. But with his value declining and uncertainty about his long-term future in New York, it’s a possibility the Jets can’t completely ignore.
