There was speculation back in August that the Jets could potentially trade Hall, but head coach Aaron Glenn dismissed the notion and said they would utilize all three of their RBs — Hall and 2024 draft picks Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis. Three weeks into the season, OC Tanner Engstrand has indeed spread the rock around, and New York’s run game is one of the few bright spots, ranking ninth in rush yards and rush TDs. Hall leads the team in carries (38) and rush yards (157) — but has yet to get into the end zone — while Allen and Davis have combined for just 16 attempts. Most of the other carries have gone to quarterbacks Justin Fields, who missed Week 3 with a concussion, and Tyrod Taylor.
Little has gone well so far for the 2025 Jets, who dwell in the AFC East cellar alongside the also winless Dolphins. Hall is in the final year of his rookie contract and knows he’s not the new regime’s guy. His potential departure in the coming weeks would allow Allen and Davis to take on bigger roles in Engstrand’s offense and net New York some quality draft capital, as well. Hall is a big back who can do everything asked of him as a rusher and receiver out of the backfield. In fact, the fourth-year pro sits second on the Jets in targets (13), receptions (eight) and receiving yards (78). There are a ton of teams that could use RB help right now — Bears, Cardinals, Chargers, Chiefs, Commanders, Steelers and Vikings among them — and Hall, whose best days I believe are ahead of him, would be an asset almost anywhere.
