Things just got a lot more interesting in Florham Park. With the 2025 NFL Draft around the corner, the New York Jets have kept their plans under wraps until now.
A new report is stirring up serious speculation, and fans are buzzing. According to insider Josina Anderson, the Jets may be quietly exploring the idea of trading their top running back, Breece Hall.
Hall, who has led the Jets in rushing for three straight seasons, might be on the move. Anderson reported hearing from league sources that Hall’s “potential availability” came up in discussions over the past week and a half. That’s not something to take lightly. Anderson has been one of the most reliable voices around the Jets all offseason, and when she says something, people listen.

The news has fueled speculation that the Jets could target star running back Ashton Jeanty with the No. 7 overall pick. Jeanty nearly broke Barry Sanders’ single-season rushing record last year and averaged 7.0 yards per carry. For a team looking to make a leap, he might be too tempting to pass up.
Hall has been a solid weapon since his rookie year in 2022, racking up over 3,600 total yards and 22 touchdowns. But his production dipped in 2024, and while some blame the offensive line, others question whether the Jets are ready to pivot. His touches remained steady, but the explosiveness wasn’t the same.

Unsurprisingly, Jets fans are split.
“Love Breece but there’s prob 2-3 guys better than him right now in the draft,” one fan wrote.

Another chimed in, “This echoes what my sources saying…. Jeanty is a jet if there at 7”

Others are already playing matchmaker, speculating which team could take a swing. “I’d assume a team like Chicago or Dallas may be interested if they can’t get Jeanty,” a fan suggested. If Hall moves, expect serious action from contenders needing a backfield boost.

As the Jets sit at No. 7, the picture is far from clear. But the smoke around Hall is growing, and where there’s smoke this close to the draft, there’s usually movement. Whether it’s Jeanty or another direction, the Jets look ready to shake things up.
