In today’s deep-dive, we break down the growing speculation surrounding a potential Chicago Bears trade for New York Jets RB Breece Hall.

Who Is Breece Hall?

Breece Hall is one of the most explosive young running backs in the NFL. Standing 6'1" and weighing 220 lbs, Hall combines size, vision, and acceleration to create mismatches in both the run and pass game.

Hometown: Wichita, Kansas
College: Iowa State University
College Stats (2019–2021):
Rushing Yards: 3,941
Rushing TDs: 50
Receiving Yards: 734
Receiving TDs: 6
Honors: 2× First-team All-American, Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year
NFL Career (2022–2024):

Drafted in the 2nd round by the New York Jets
2022: Showed explosive promise before tearing ACL mid-season
2023: Rebounded strong with 994 rushing yards, 5 TDs, and 76 receptions for 591 yards
2024: Over 1,000 all-purpose yards; RB1 capability confirmed
Despite not yet cracking a 1,000-yard rushing season, Hall is a top-tier all-purpose back entering his contract year in 2025 — a key reason trade speculation is heating up.

Trade Speculation: Who's Saying What?

Alex Kay (Bleacher Report) proposes a deal sending D’Andre Swift and a 3rd-round pick to the Jets for Hall. He argues Hall is a major upgrade in an offense designed to support rookie QB Caleb Williams.
Ben Devine (@Chicago_NFL) floated a Cole Kmet-for-Hall trade, noting that Hall-Swift could mirror the Jahmyr Gibbs–David Montgomery combo Ben Johnson deployed in Detroit.
Josina Anderson reported the Jets were open to “exploring options” with Hall, especially if the team feels confident in their RB depth behind him.
Brad Biggs (Chicago Tribune) poured cold water on the rumors, suggesting the Jets would be selling low and lack an immediate replacement.
So is this buzz just smoke—or is there fire?

Why the Bears Might Make the Move

Ben Johnson’s dynamic, dual-back system thrives on versatility. Breece Hall is a perfect fit: a runner who can line up in the slot, catch out of the backfield, and hit home runs in open space. In an offense built around Caleb Williams, DJ Moore, Keenan Allen, and a retooled offensive line, Hall could be the final piece that turns this group into a top-10 unit.

If Chicago wants to maximize Caleb Williams’ rookie contract window and make a playoff push, this move might be worth the cost.

What Would It Take?

A deal might look like:

Bears send: D’Andre Swift + 2025 3rd-round pick
Jets send: Breece Hall
Or:

Bears send: Cole Kmet + conditional pick
Jets send: Breece Hall
Final Thoughts

Is a Breece Hall trade to the Bears likely? Maybe not—but it's far from impossible. The speculation is growing, and Chicago is clearly in "win-now" mode. If GM Ryan Poles and Ben Johnson want to go all-in, acquiring Breece Hall could be the bold move that defines their 2025 season.
