Jets running back Breece Hall emphatically stated his commitment to the team Friday, despite intensifying trade speculation as the Jets navigate a challenging 0-5 start to the season. The comments came following the team’s loss to the Dallas Cowboys, 37-22, and amid reports suggesting Hall could be a valuable trade asset for teams seeking a dynamic running back.
The Jets’ struggles, coupled with Hall’s proven talent, have fueled external discussion about possibly leveraging him for future assets. Though, Hall’s clear declaration underscores his desire to be part of the Jets’ long-term rebuild and contribute to a turnaround. This stance is notable for both the organization, which must weigh potential trade offers against team morale and future prospects, and for fans hoping to see Hall flourish in new York.
Jets coach Aaron Glenn expressed optimism about the team’s potential for improvement, stating, “Every day, that’s all I think about – how do we get us a win so we get this thing going right? that’s all we need. We just need one.Once we get one, we’ll get this thing going right where we need to.” Glenn also highlighted unseen foundational improvements,adding,”There are some foundational things that I see us building right now that no one else sees…the foundation is going to be stable. We’re going to start winning and everything is going be just fine.”
The team’s injury report revealed cornerback Brandon Stephens is questionable for Sunday’s game due to a neck injury, while running back/kick returner Kene Nwangwu (hamstring) is expected to play.
