Will the Jets trade Breece Hall before the NFL trade deadline?

The most unexpected revelation to come out of this dreary Jets season is Braelon Allen’s emergence as a lead back. It’s led to speculation that Breece Hall could be traded.

Allen has proven himself over the five games that Hall has missed with a quad injury. Allen ran for a career-high 147 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Raiders and is averaging 126.8 scrimmage yards per game over the last four.

Aaron Glenn tried to put to rest any rumors that Hall could be dealt before Tuesday’s trade deadline. But it’s not completely out of the question for the Jets to move Hall because of how this season has gone and what Allen has done with his opportunity.

“Breece is still a part of this team,” Glenn said. “I understand how the noise happens when things like this happen. I've said it before: we're in the business of keeping good players and he's one of our better players. So Breece will still be here.”

The Jets are not having a fire sale like they did last year when they traded Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams for three first-round picks, a second, Adonai Mitchell and Mazi Smith. But at 2-6, the Jets have to listen to teams and see what they’re willing to offer.

Colts running back Jonathan Taylor is the big fish in the trade market. Teams that have been linked to Taylor are the Seahawks, Vikings, Giants, Broncos and Packers. The ones that miss out on Taylor could turn their attention to Hall.

Adding to the intrigue of Hall’s status is he deactivated his X account — formerly Twitter — over the weekend. That had the social media hounds assuming that Hall would be traded.

The Jets spent all offseason, summer and much of this season talking about Hall’s importance to the team. Coordinator Frank Reich called Hall “a bell-cow” on more than one occasion. Glenn and Reich have said that Hall would resume his RB1 status when he returns.

That remains to be seen. Allen’s 391 yards of offense over the last three weeks is second to only Seattle receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba. It’s going to be difficult to take the ball out of Allen’s hands right now. The Jets have to figure out how to use a two-back attack or consider going forward without Hall.

Last season, Hall would have welcomed a trade. The Jets were reportedly in conversations with Kansas City but opted to hold on to Hall. The Jets franchise-tagged Hall in the spring and eventually signed him to a three-year, $45.75 million extension.

Hall and receiver Garrett Wilson are the Jets’ two biggest names who have come up in trade speculation. It only makes sense for contending teams to check in on their availability and what it would take to get them.

The Jets have no plans in trading Wilson, who they gave a four-year, $130 million extension last season. Wilson is extremely frustrated with losing. He said last week he wouldn’t request a trade. He wants to win in a Jets’ uniform, but Wilson left the door open a crack.

“I love it here,” Wilson said. “Do I love it more than I love winning? Nah, to be completely honest, but I'm hopeful.”

Wilson may not seek a trade, but he also may not be opposed to one.

There are other Jets who could be on the move by next week. One who is almost certain to be traded if not released is cornerback Nahshon Wright.

The Jets, who famously had no interceptions last year, signed Wright, who had five with the Bears, to a $3.5 million contract. He has appeared in three games but hasn’t played a single defensive snap.

Edge rusher Will McDonald’s athleticism and potential could be appealing, but the former first-round pick’s value can’t be that high. McDonald hasn’t developed into the disruptive player the Jets hoped he would become. He has just three sacks.

Linebacker Jamien Sherwood was stripped of the defensive play-calling duties when Demario Davis arrived. Sherwood has had some good moments this year and is tied for the team lead in tackles. His salary next season is not guaranteed. The Jets could try to get something for Sherwood before potentially cutting him in the offseason to clear money.

Veteran defensive tackle Harrison Phillips is in the last year of his deal and could draw interest from contenders that need to bolster their run defense. The Jets are thin up front so they may choose to keep him.

Among other players whose Jets’ future is up in the air includes safety Andre Cisco from Valley Stream and tight end Jeremy Ruckert of Lindenhurst. Both players have seen their snap counts and roles reduced over the last several weeks.
