The New York Jets are set for the 2026 NFL season, focusing on their running back situation. Breece Hall, coming off a strong previous season, signed a three-year contract extension worth over $15 million annually. He is expected to lead the group, which includes backups Braelon Allen, Isaiah Davis, and Kene Nwangwu. Key concerns include improving passing game production, as Hall's usage last season left potential untapped.
