TRADE BUZZ: Jets-Cowboys Trade Heating Up; Star RB Could Land in Dallas

The New York Jets have been at the center of trade speculation all offseason — and now, things appear to be gaining serious momentum as the trade deadline looms. At the heart of it: their star running back Breece Hall, who some believe is the franchise’s top trade chip this year.

🏈 Cowboys Emerging as a Prime Fit

It’s being suggested that Dallas might be the ideal landing spot for Hall. With Tony Pollard and Rico Dowdle both now gone, the Cowboys’ backfield situation is wide open. Meanwhile, Hall’s elite combination of burst, vision, and overall skill makes him an upgrade over many RB1s around the league.

One commentator from FanSided noted that Jerry Jones has recently bragged about newfound salary cap flexibility following the Micah Parsons trade — and it may be time to put that money to work.

🔁 Why the Jets Might Be Willing to Deal

From the Jets’ perspective, trading Hall makes sense — especially if they doubt they can retain him in free agency. And with backup options like Braelon Allen and the committee backs already in the mix, they might be more comfortable letting Hall go in exchange for premium draft capital.

Even factoring in injuries and uncertainty, Hall’s value remains high. The running back market is thin, and a player of his caliber rarely comes along.

⚠️ What It Would Take

A trade won’t come cheap. The Cowboys would likely have to pay up with multiple high draft picks — maybe even a starter or two — to convince the Jets to let go of such a dynamic weapon.

But if Dallas pulls it off, pairing Hall with Javonte Williams (if Williams stays) could create one of the most formidable running back duos in the NFL — a lethal combo of consistency and explosiveness.

As of now, the Jets haven’t publicly responded to trade chatter, but Cowboys Nation is already buzzing. If Jerry Jones is serious about contending in the NFC, this could be the bold move that signals Dallas isn’t playing games.
