Breece Hall's name keeps popping up as the Nov. 10 trade deadline gets closer, and it's one worth keeping an eye on.
The Jets are 2-5 and coming off a loss to Miami, and they sold hard at last year's deadline. Hall has missed four straight games with a quad injury, and Braelon Allen has run with the job: 418 rushing yards in four starts, including a 104-yard day against the Dolphins. amNY's Joe Pantorno wrote that Allen's emergence "perhaps makes him a bit more expendable."
The contract helps too. Hall signed a three-year, $43.5 million deal in May, and Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic noted that GM Darren Mougey "smartly structured Hall's contract in a way that wouldn't be debilitating if they did decide to move him." There's also history here: Pantorno noted the Chiefs reportedly offered a third-round pick for Hall last season, and Mougey turned it down.
Two teams that have been rumored are the Seahawks who have been linked to every running back so far this season and the Denver Broncos.
Hall is limited Friday and questionable for Sunday against the Raiders. A healthy return, and a big game, could get teams calling.
