NFL news: Jets catch heat from running back

New York Jets running back Breece Hall appeared to take a subtle shot at the team on Monday as the franchise reportedly came to agreements with multiple defenders at the start of free agency.

The Jets placed the nonexclusive franchise tag on Hall last week, preventing him from becoming a restricted free agent. Hall is allowed to negotiate with other teams and sign an offer sheet, but the team has first refusal rights.

As free agency began, Hall noticed the team agreeing to deals with defenders.

The Jets reportedly acquired Miami Dolphins defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick, who will sign a three-year, $40 million deal with the team. New York also signed linebacker Demario Davis to a two-year, $22 million deal and defensive end Joseph Ossai to a three-year, $36 million contract, according to multiple reports.

“Damn we sure got a lot of money in Florham Park all these contracts dudes signing,” Hall wrote on X with three crying-laughing emojis.

The two sides have until July 15 to reach a long-term agreement. If they cannot agree to terms on a deal by then, Hall will play the 2026 season with a $14.293 million cap hit.

Hall rushed for 1,065 yards and four touchdowns last season in 16 games. He also had 36 catches for 350 yards and a touchdown for a 3-14 Jets squad.
