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:
