Breece Hall made it back on time from an October 2022 ACL tear, returning in Week 1 of the 2023 season. The former second-round pick, however, has not quite recaptured his rookie-year explosiveness. And his future with the Jets is in doubt.

The New York Jets made seven selections in the 2025 NFL Draft, addressing multiple key positions of need. It was the first draft for new general manager Darren Mougey and head coach Aaron Glenn, who have begun to build the culture they hope to embody.

That set off a feeding frenzy of sorts, with Jets fans debating on social media the merits and pitfalls of trading for Hall and reporters for other teams even openly speculating that a deal could be imminent. But the draft started Thursday with Hall still on the Jets, and the first round ended with Hall still on the Jets.
