Why trading for Breece Hall would make sense for Broncos

The Denver Broncos, after suffering a setback from their second-year running back RJ Harvey's knee injury, are now looking for a suitable replacement. While Jonathon Taylor is an option, the team might be better served by considering a younger and less expensive alternative - Breece Hall. Hall's price tag for the 2027 and 2028 seasons is $13.5 million and $14.5 million respectively, which might be more manageable for the Broncos.

However, the New York Jets had indeed placed a franchise tag on Hall, making it difficult for the Broncos to make an offer that he couldn't match during free agency. Despite this, there was early interest from Denver, which was later blocked by the Jets. With other players like Braelon Allen performing well, the Jets may now be open to dealing Hall, possibly in exchange for additional draft capital.

This move seems like a sensible option for the Broncos, especially if they can secure him for a lower price than Taylor.
