Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter): Despite interest and calls, the Jets have told teams they don’t intend to trade running back Breece Hall.
Hall's name had been circulating as the deadline approached, in part because of how this season has gone. He rushed for 102 yards and a touchdown in the opener at Tennessee, then managed 61 yards on 29 carries over the next two games. A quad injury ended that early stretch, and he missed Weeks 4 through 8, including the Nov. 1 loss to the Raiders. Through three games he has 51 carries for 163 yards, 3.2 per carry, and one rushing touchdown, plus 10 catches for 102 yards.
Braelon Allen took over while Hall was out and has 112 carries for 565 yards and three touchdowns in eight games, which helped put Hall's name in the conversation. The Jets also said they would not trade Garrett Wilson before the deadline, and this is a similar message on another building-block player.
Five missed games on a 2-6 team would usually make a veteran back easier to move. The Jets have now told clubs they plan to keep him. They entered Sunday's game at Kansas City after three straight losses and host the Bills next.
