Schefter Tips Jets to Field Breece Hall Trade Calls Despite 'Not Trading Him' Stance

The New York Jets insist they will not trade Breece Hall, but ESPN's Adam Schefter believes the phone will ring anyway before the November 10 trade deadline. Head coach Aaron Glenn said on Monday that the team has no intention of moving its star running back, who has been sidelined with a quad injury since leaving the Week 3 game against Detroit. In the meantime, Braelon Allen has emerged as one of the league's most productive backs over the last five games, giving the Jets depth at the position. Speaking on his podcast on Wednesday, Schefter argued that if Jonathan Taylor is traded, attention will quickly turn to Hall as the next running back teams call about. The Vikings, Giants, Broncos and Packers are among those linked with interest in Taylor, but only one team can land him. Schefter's prediction does not mean a deal is coming — the Jets, he stressed, do not want to trade Hall and are not planning to. It does, however, underline how the deadline market works: even a player declared unavailable can draw enquiries when contenders grow desperate for backfield help.
