March 3 (UPI) -- The New York Jets placed the franchise tag on running back Breece Hall, but will continue contract negotiations, a league source told UPI on Tuesday.
Hall will make $14.293 million in 2026 if he plays under the terms of the one-year, non-exclusive tender. The second-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft was to hit free agency this off-season.
Jets general manager Darren Mougey told reporters last week at the NFL scouting combine that the tag was an option for Hall.
"Ideally, we'd find a way to get a deal done and keep Breece around," Mougey said. "I think I've said that for the last year since I got here. Breece is a good player."
