The New York Jets are facing a dilemma with their crowded backfield, featuring Breece Hall, Braelon Allen,and Isaiah Davis. according to the report, each player deserves meaningful reps, but the long-term position remains with Breece Hall. As the Jets' general manager Darren Mougey navigates this situation,he must consider the potential impact on the health of his players.
The $40 Million Question: Breece Hall's New Contract
The addition of Breece Hall's new contract has made the backfield even more crowded,with four main options for meaningful reps. As the report says, Hall's new contract makes it hard for Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis to see the field as often as they'd like.. Mougey may ultimately need to explore trading either Allen or Davis before it's too late.
Braelon Allen's Rookie Season and Injury
Braelon Allen quickly burst onto the scene in his rookie season, logging 334 rushing yards on 92 carries for two touchdowns. However, Allen suffered an MCL injury in Week 4 last year, which presented Isaiah Davis with an opportunity to showcase his skillset. As the report notes, Davis finished last season with 236 rushing yards on 43 carries, averaging a remarkable 5.5 yards per carry.
Trade Value and Negotiations
With each player having two years left on their rookie deals, there aren't enough reps for all three of them. According to the report, if Isaiah Davis takes a step back, his trade value tanks. The Jets likely won't acquire more than a fourth-round selection for either player, but a good start to trade negotiations is the best way to maximize any potential trade return. As the report says, the Jets can't wait forever when deciding if Isaiah Davis and/or Braelon Allen should stay with the team.
