After weeks of trade rumors, New York Jets RB Breece Hall stayed put. But the franchise had a notable offer for him, according to SNY’s Connor Hughes.
The Kansas City Chiefs offered the Jets a fourth-round pick for Hall, Hughes reported Tuesday afternoon. New York ultimately declined, holding strong at its asking price of at least a third-round pick. As a result, Hall did not get traded ahead of the deadline.
The Jets also heard offers on Jermaine Johnson , and Hughes said an offer came in for a second-round pick. Again, the franchise declined because it wanted more in return.
“Where things stood on Jermaine Johnson and Breece Hall, from what I am told, there was an offer out there for a second-round pick on Jermaine Johnson,” Hughes said. “The Jets wanted a little bit more. They were unable to negotiate that with a team, so no trade happened and Jermaine Johnson came back. With Breece Hall, there was an offer on the table for a fourth-round pick for Breece Hall. I was told that it was from the Kansas City Chiefs that were willing to trade for Breece Hall. The Jets were steadfast in wanting a third.
“So they wanted a third-round pick for Breece Hall. They were not able to get one. Only had a fourth-round offer. Jermaine Johnson, they had a second-round pick. Wasn’t something they were particularly interested in.”
