New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn's latest comment about Breece Hall hints that anytime, the running back could be traded. While yesterday's report made no mention of any team that could acquire the young talent, the latest rumor hints that the Dallas Cowboys could be the perfect team to get him.
Hearing that Hall is linked to a Cowboys' rumored trade means that Dallas badly wants to revamp its running back lineup for the upcoming 2025 NFL Season.
Aaron Glenn Brings New Philosophy to Jets Offense
As Aaron Glenn heads into his first season as a head coach in the NFL, he's likely to bring with him some of the tactics that worked at the Detroit Lions, including a two-back platoon system. As Athlon Sports reports, the Lions excelled with a running back-by-committee system, and Glenn might be drawing up a similar arrangement for the Jets.
Per ESPN's Rich Cimini, Glenn's possible backfield revamp has fueled rumors that Breece Hall, one of the NFL's most exciting young backs, will be traded. With Hall's star status and established production, he's now a hot ticket — and Dallas is said to be interested.

Cowboys Seeking to Improve Backfield Depth
The commentaries on the Cowboys' ground production in 2024 were dismal, with them managing only an average of 100.3 rushing yards per game, placing them at 27th in the NFL.
With the arrival of new head coach Brian Schottenheimer and incumbent back Rico Dowdle leaving in free agency, Dallas looks to overhaul its running game.
Bleacher Report's Alex Kay recently floated a trade sending Hall to the Cowboys for a third-round selection (No. 76) and a sixth-rounder (No. 204) in this draft. The exchange would provide Dallas with a reliable workhorse that could immediately augment Dak Prescott — or even lead the next QB in Dallas' future plans.
Hall's Fit in Dallas and Draft Day Dilemma
Hall, in his fourth NFL year, still has a lot of upside. His explosiveness, pass-catching ability, and load-carrying skills make him a perfect match for Dallas, a team in need of a reliable ground game.
While the Cowboys have been rumored to be interested in high-profile college prospects such as Boise State's Ashton Jeanty and UNC's Omarion Hampton, the addition of Hall might enable Dallas to divert attention to other areas of need. With ten overall picks to work with, the Cowboys have the leeway to make a move. They need to think whether this gamble's positives will outweigh the negatives.
Cowboys Already Loaded with RB Talent?
Here's where things get tricky: Dallas already inked two veteran backs — Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders in the offseason. On paper, it appears the spot is taken care of, but there are concerns about its durability and consistency.
Bringing in Hall would provide the Cowboys with an actual lead running back, but it would be at the expense of precious draft picks. And with rumors floating around that there are quality starting RBs potentially on the table after Round 1, holding firm with the draft plan might be the safer choice.
