The New York Jets made several high-profile trades this week, sending players elsewhere in exchange for significant future assets. However, there was at least one deal that the team apparently decided not to pursue.
According to Nate Taylor of ESPN, the Jets turned down an offer from the Kansas City Chiefs for running back Breece Hall. The Chiefs were reportedly willing to trade a 2026 fourth-round pick in exchange for Hall, but New York was seeking a higher return—a third-round selection.
Although Hall was reportedly willing to be moved following the trades of cornerback Sauce Gardner and defensive tackle Quinnen Williams, the Chiefs and Jets could not come to an agreement. As a result, Hall remains with the Jets.
From the Chiefs’ perspective, a third-round pick in 2026 with contractual control for four years was deemed more valuable than acquiring Hall for eight games and a potential postseason run. Kansas City’s starting running back, Isiah Pacheco, is currently sidelined with an MCL sprain. However, the team remains optimistic that he will be able to return after their Week 10 bye.
In the meantime, the Chiefs have turned to Kareem Hunt and Brashard Smith to fill the running back role. Elijah Mitchell is still on the 53-man roster, and Clyde Edwards-Helaire remains on the practice squad.
As for Hall, he has rushed for 581 yards with two touchdowns this season, averaging an impressive 5.0 yards per carry. He has also contributed as a receiver, catching 21 passes for 178 yards.
