Trade idea has Bears landing disgruntled Jets star for pick and starter

6 hours ago 3

The Chicago Bears have had an interesting offseason and are looking to improve upon what was a very successful first campaign for Ben Johnson.

Among the options that make sense for the Bears to pursue is New York Jets running back Breece Hall. Hall is reportedly available for the right price, though it remains uncertain if the Jets actually want to trade him. After not moving him at the deadline a year ago, New York has some interesting decisions to make, to say the least.

In a recent proposal, it feels like a deal that would be too good to pass up for Chicago. Sports Illustrated's Ryan Shea proposed a deal that would send Hall to the Bears for a third-round pick and D'Andre Swift.

“The Chicago Bears would make this move to land a true offensive centerpiece in Breece Hall—something their offense has been missing. Hall isn’t just a solid starter; he’s a home-run threat who can flip games with one touch, whether as a runner or receiver.

"In a system led by Ben Johnson, that versatility becomes even more valuable. Johnson’s offenses are built on creativity, spacing, and getting playmakers into favorable matchups. Hall would likely see more designed touches in space, screens, and mismatch opportunities, which not only boosts real production but also raises his fantasy ceiling.”

In the right system, Hall is the kind of player who can really be a star in this league. He proved that in the earlier stages of his time with the Jets, but he's also been on one of the worst offensive teams in the league over the past few seasons. With Johnson as his head coach, I'd expect that to change.
