The New York Jets moving on from Breece Hall wouldn’t be something that excites fans, but there's also reason to believe that if the deal were favorable for New York, it could work out in the short and long term.
The Jets would either need some good young talent back or a decent draft pick in return. Sports Illustrated's Ryan Shea proposed a deal with the Chicago Bears that wouldn't necessarily accomplish that, but it would land D'Andre Swift and a third-round pick.
“The New York Jets would make this trade to balance talent, depth, and future flexibility. While Breece Hall is a rising star, moving him allows the Jets to acquire assets that better fit their current roster and long-term plan.
"Trading Hall opens the door to get a proven, versatile back who can contribute immediately, while also gaining draft capital to address other needs like the offensive line, skill positions, or defensive depth. Essentially, it’s about converting a high-upside asset into multiple pieces, giving the Jets more control over roster construction while still keeping a productive backfield.”
Getting Swift plus a third-round pick gives them some flexibility for a running back who still needs to be paid.
Hall would be an excellent addition for a team like the Bears. The Jets have seen what he can bring to an offense, but his talent might be wasted in a place like New York right now due to the team's struggles.
