Jets | Tag possible for Breece Hall Sat Jan 31, 01:42 PM
New York Jets impending free-agent RB Breece Hall may be a candidate for either the franchise tag or transition tag this offseason if the two sides are not able to reach an agreement on a new contract, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Rich Cimini.
| Footballguys view: Hall is arguably the best running back available in free agency this offseason. We could see several teams vying for his services if the Jets don't tag him. A franchise tag has a projected value at $14.1 million for a one-year deal. The Jets could tag him and then get until mid-July to work out a long-term contract. If they lose Hall in free agency, the Jets would be searching for a new lead back (among many other things). |
Miami Dolphins pass game coordinator Brian Duker was hired by the New York Jets as defensive coordinator Wednesday, Jan. 28.
| Footballguys view: Not many were expecting this move. Duker did work with Jets head coach Aaron Glenn when both coached with the Lions from 2021 to 2023. The Jets defense was terrible in 2025, becoming the first team in NFL history to not snare an interception. Duker has his work cut out for him. |
Former NFL coach Jon Gruden reportedly turned down a chance to join the coaching staff of the New York Jets. The report did not indicate what his potential role would have been on head coach Aaron Glenn's staff.

New York Jets offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand and the team are parting ways on Tuesday, Jan. 27.
| Footballguys view: As Profootballtalk.com noted, reports in recent days indicated the Jets were working to hire former Colts and Panthers head coach Frank Reich to join the offensive staff, though not necessarily as offensive coordinator, as Engstrand occupied that role. The situation has now changed. Though Reich was set to join the Jets, New York will now have to be Rooney Rule-compliant if they want to hire Reich as the club's offensive coordinator. It stands to reason that will be the case, as Reich was reportedly set to call plays for New York with Engstrand's title remaining the same. |

Link to storyNew York Jets WR Isaiah Williams posted team highs with five receptions and 24 yards on seven targets in Week 18 against the Buffalo Bills, while posting five kick returns for 142 yards.
| Footballguys view: Williams was signed from the Bengals practice squad in Week 2, was waived to the practice squad by the Jets after fumbling in Week 4, but returned in Week 6 and ended up being the team's MVP. That's the kind of season it was for the Jets. |

New York Jets QB Brady Cook completed 11-of-22 passes for 60 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Week 18 against the Buffalo Bills, while adding three runs for seven yards.
| Footballguys view: Cook has looked overwhelmed, albeit in an offense that has been one of the league's worst all season. The Jets will bring in at least two quarterbacks via free agency or the draft this offseason. |

New York Jets WR Adonai Mitchell enters Week 18 against the Buffalo Bills with 301 receiving yards on 24 receptions in seven games since coming over from the Indianapolis Colts. He needs 95 receiving yards to surpass the injured WR Garrett Wilson, who hasn't caught a pass since Oct. 12, for the team lead.

New York Jets RB Isaiah Davis (concussion) will not play in the Week 18 game, according to head coach Aaron Glenn.
Link to storyNew York Jets TE Mason Taylor (neck) won't play in Week 18 against the Buffalo Bills.
| Footballguys view: Taylor hasn't played since suffering this neck injury in Week 14. There are plenty of reasons to be optimistic about his long-term outlook, and he's a player worth acquiring in dynasty leagues. His rookie season, however, is over. |
New York Jets RB Breece Hall (knee) will be limited in practice Friday, Jan. 2.
| Footballguys view: Hall had 129 scrimmage yards and a score last week, proving he won't phone it in even with the Jets' season over. Hall's rookie contract comes to an end after this season, and the Jets will have to choose whether to offer him a new deal, let him walk, or place a franchise tag on him. There's little upside in playing him this week, but the Jets have proven to fight hard even in a lost season. |

New York Jets RB Breece Hall (knee) was limited during practice Thursday, Jan. 1.
