The New York Jets have had a bit of a tumultuous last year with running back Breece Hall. He was great this past season, but there was plenty of buzz about a trade.

He stayed in New York and was then franchise tagged this offseason. The Jets clearly wanted to keep him around long-term, and that's exactly what they did after the draft.

According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the Jets and Hall agree on a $45.75 million contract extension for the next three years.

"BREAKING: The Jets and RB Breece Hall are in agreement on a 3-year deal worth up to $45.75M, making him the NFL's 3rd highest paid RB, per multiple sources," Schultz reports.

This $45.75 million extension for Hall is some great news for the Jets, as it's a fantastic deal for New York for a few reasons.

Why Breece Hall's $45.75M extension is great move for Jets

With the Jets spending so much money on a running back, it's a bit of an odd move for a team that isn't a Super Bowl contender.

At least, that might normally be the case. The Jets actually have a good offensive line this year, so Hall should be able to produce for the Jets' offense.
