With rumors swirling that the Jets are eyeing Boise State star Ashton Jeanty in the draft and possibly shifting to a backfield committee, Hall may become expendable. ESPN’s Rich Cimini noted that Glenn recently hinted at a shared workload approach, while Bleacher Report’s Alex Kay and Justin Melo both explored potential trade fits for the 23-year-old back entering the final year of his rookie deal.
Hall, who has totaled over 3,600 scrimmage yards in three seasons, reportedly wants a contract extension worth more than $12 million annually.

One of the strongest suitors is the Chicago Bears, who could use Hall to revamp a run game that averaged just 102 yards per game last season.
Despite signing D’Andre Swift to a three-year, $24 million deal, the Bears may already be regretting the move after he posted just 3.8 yards per carry.
New head coach Ben Johnson is expected to run a creative offense similar to the one he led in Detroit, and Hall could thrive in that system. “Johnson isn’t culpable for the Swift mistake,” Justin Melo wrote, adding that the coach would likely prefer “a three-down back like Hall at his disposal.”
Breece Hall is a stud. Full workhorse skillset. His OC is talking committee — that’s noise, not signal. Talent wins out.

If there’s even a small dip in value, take advantage.

Another intriguing fit is the Washington Commanders, who made a surprise run to the NFC title game and are now building around quarterback Jayden Daniels.
Trading WR Luke McCaffrey and a fourth-round pick for Hall could bolster their backfield, which currently features Brian Robinson Jr. and aging veteran Austin Ekeler. “Washington could now swing another move to reinforce the backfield,” Alex Kay wrote, noting that Hall would “round out a Commanders offense that ranked No. 7 in total yards.”
The Dallas Cowboys also loom as a logical destination, given their backfield struggles and lack of a true lead rusher. With ten picks in this year’s draft, Dallas has the capital to get a deal done and finally replace the production they’ve missed since Ezekiel Elliott’s prime.
