The New York Jets may trade running back Breece Hall . There are rumors that the Jets could move their star RB, with the Los Angeles Chargers, Kansas City Chiefs, and Houston Texans all showing interest.
Hall has gained 351 yards in five games but has not scored any touchdowns. This makes him a valuable player for teams looking to trade for him. His name has been mentioned in trade talks since April.
The acquisition of Hall by the Chargers would provide the team with a healthy running back capable of assuming the role of lead back immediately. Once rookie RB Omarion Hampton is fully recovered, the Chargers would benefit from a formidable one-two combination in the backfield.
He is young, dynamic, and an excellent complement to Hampton. If Harris indeed returns, this combination could represent one of the finest running back units in the AFC.
The Kansas City Chiefs have a realistic trade target who can help both in rushing and receiving. In Andy Reid’s offense, running backs who can catch passes have great potential. For example, Kareem Hunt was a valuable player in 2017-18 and was effective in many ways.The Kansas City Chiefs have a realistic trade target who can help both in rushing and receiving.

People are worried about Breece being in the last year of his contract but running backs outside the elite group are usually affordable. If he plays well this year, he could get a new 3-year contract for $30–33 million, with about $14 million guaranteed. The Chiefs could also release him after year two and save $10–13 million if needed.
It would be intriguing if the Texans pursued a trade for Hall. They possess sufficient draft capital to facilitate such a transaction.
If Joe Mixon is indeed sidelined for the remainder of the season, which appears to be a distinct possibility, then they should acquire him. The Houston Texans have a specific player profile for the running back position, and Hall effectively aligns with that profile.
Trading Hall would not be a prudent decision for the Jets. He is among the most valuable players on the team.
He is still a premier running back that we need to build the offense around. He gives them a RB for the next couple of years who is a producer on the field.
