Article text

The new Breece Hall contract with the Jets has been widely characterized as having a value of $45.75 million over three years . That equates to an average of $15.25 million per year. The full details of the contract have arrived at PFT HQ. We'll see below whether the numbers match the reports. Here they are, per a source with knowledge of the terms: 1. Signing bonus: $5 million. 2. 2026 90-man roster bonus: $5 million, fully guaranteed. 3. 2026 base salary: $5.16 million, fully guaranteed. 4. 2026 48-man per-game roster bonus: $340,000 total, fully guaranteed (but must be earned). 5. 2027 base salary: $13.16 million, fully guaranteed. 6. 2027 48-man per-game roster bonus: $340,000 total, fully guaranteed (but must be earned). 7. 2028 base salary: $14.16 million. 8. 2028 48-man per-game roster bonus: $340,000. The contract includes $750,000 per year in incentives. He's eligible for $250,000 each year for making it to the Pro Bowl roster, $250,000 each year for gaining 1,416 yards from scrimmage, and $250,000 each year for scoring seven rushing touchdowns. The per-year average of the base package is $14.5 million, not $15.25 million. The incentives, if earned, would push the average to $15.25 million annually. The deal fully guarantees the first two seasons, at $29 million in total pay. Hall was eligible for a one-year, $14.293 million salary under the franchise tag. He had not accepted it. The contract, therefore, isn't an extension; there was nothing to extend. It's a new, three-year deal that replaces the tag.
