Jets to use a tag on Breece Hall if a contract is not reached

The NY Jets will use 1 of the tags at their disposal on RB Breece Hall if they can’t reach an agreement with the player before the deadline, GM Darren Mougey revealed today.

The NFL franchise from the Big Apple can either use the franchise tag or the transition tag on the running back.

The organization tag, which will be worth almost 15 million dollars next year, would restrict Breece’s movement in free agency and guarantee the Jets draft-pick compensation if it doesn’t match another team’s offer sheet or is traded.

They can also use a transition tag, which will cost almost 12 million dollars and will allow the franchise 7 days to match any offer sheet Hall receives, but in this case, they will not receive a draft selection if New York doesn’t match.

Breece, a 2^nd-round selection, earned almost 11 million dollars on his rookie deal. There were rumors that the RB would be traded at the midseason deadline last year, but the Jets decided to keep him with the hope of re-signing him with a long-term deal.
