It sure seems like the Jets, who had offers to deal Hall for a fourth-round pick at the trade deadline, will simply stick with their back entering his age-25 season one way or another. It’ll be a boon for the other running backs on the free agent market to have Hall off the board early. The Jets seem likely to again focus on being a run-first offense given how weak their quarterback room is, so Hall should be a reasonable RB2 if he returns.
