The New York Jets have reached a three-year, $45.8 million agreement with running back Breece Hall, as reported by NFL Media. Hall, who was set to play under a $14.3 million non-exclusive franchise tag, now signs a deal that places him third among NFL running backs with an average annual salary of $15.3 million. Having spent his entire career with the Jets (2022–2025), Hall posted a career-high 1,065 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 4.4 yards per carry over 16 games last season, adding 36 receptions for 350 yards and one touchdown.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts officially signed his franchise tender, per NFL Network, worth $15.045 million, making him one of the league’s highest-paid tight ends. Both sides have until July 15 to negotiate a long-term extension; otherwise, Pitts will play the upcoming season under the tag. Coming off a career year in Atlanta, Pitts recorded 88 receptions for 928 yards and five touchdowns.

Quarterback Taylor Heinicke announced his retirement from football at age 33 via Instagram, reflecting on a 25-year playing career. “It has taught me a lot, not only about myself but about life as well… the ups outweigh the downs tenfold,” he wrote. An undrafted free agent out of Old Dominion, Heinicke played for the Houston Texans, Carolina Panthers, Minnesota Vikings, Washington Commanders, Atlanta Falcons, and Los Angeles Chargers over seven NFL seasons, finishing with 6,663 passing yards, 39 touchdowns, and 28 interceptions.

The Indianapolis Colts released cornerback Kenny Moore II after failing to find a trade partner for the 2021 Pro Bowler. Moore had requested a change of scenery in early April. The 30-year-old, who went from an undrafted rookie in 2017 to a multiyear team captain and one of the NFL’s top slot corners, was scheduled to earn $9.49 million in salary this season. Over nine seasons with the Colts, Moore recorded 649 tackles, 68 pass breakups, 21 interceptions (four returned for touchdowns), and a fumble return for a score in 2024. With the draft used to potentially find a faster replacement, the Colts released Moore to give him more time to find a new team.
