The New York Jets have officially finalized a three-year contract with running back Breece Hall, valued at $45.75 million. The agreement, which replaces the franchise tag Hall was eligible for, includes a fully guaranteed base of $29 million over the first two seasons and incentives that could push the annual average to $15.25 million.
Below is the full breakdown of the contract terms, per a source with direct knowledge of the agreement:
Contract Breakdown by Year

- Signing bonus: $5 million
- 90-man roster bonus: $5 million (fully guaranteed)

Incentives
The contract includes $750,000 in annual incentives, with Hall eligible for:

- $250,000 per year for gaining 1,416 yards from scrimmage
- $250,000 per year for scoring seven rushing touchdowns
