The New York Jets‘ 2025 season has finally seen a ray of hope. Following a very close Week 8 win to the Cincinnati Bengals with just a single point as the Jets scored 39-38, the team now sits at a dismal 1-7. But amidst the organizational collapse, star running back Breece Hall is making sure that if his time with the Jets is over, the team, along with Aaron Glenn, knows exactly how he feels.

With the November 4th trade deadline fast approaching, the star running back, in the final year of his rookie deal, sent shockwaves through the league with a message that put the Jets’ front office on notice. During the second quarter of Sunday’s game, as the Jets trailed 10-0 amid swirling trade rumors, CBS sideline reporter Aditi Kinkhabwala revealed on X that Hall told her exactly how he felt about the situation.

“My job is to show up on Sundays. I either show this team I deserve to be here, or I audition for other teams,” she further added, saying, “He said, ‘If y’all don’t want me, that’s your loss. I’ll come back and kill you guys.’

The threat is surely audacious. But it is also to be noted that it is coming from one of the team’s most dynamic offensive players, who has been giving his all to a team that had not yielded a single positive result this season. Especially when there are rumors that multiple league sources have confirmed that several contending teams are actively engaged in conversations with the Jets ahead of the Nov. 4th deadline.

Breece Hall’s timings and strategies have helped Aaron Gleen save his job

Ahead of the week 8 game, Aaron Glenn was facing constant criticism because of the team’s 0-7 record. It was not just that his job was on the line, but also the franchise’s respect. On Sunday, Breece Hall didn’t just play well; he delivered an absolute, life-changing performance. He was a force of nature, gutting the opposing defense for 133 yards and two touchdowns on just 18 carries. His tough, grinding runs and that one incredible, clever play didn’t just get them a win. They snatched a desperate, soul-saving victory right out of the jaws of disaster.

That timing is everything. A loss would have pushed them to 0-8, a point where Jets coaches are historically fired without hesitation. Hall’s incredible day did more than break a losing streak. It revived a team that was on the verge of total collapse and bought his coach, Glenn, vital time and a measure of respect.

This win is massive. It means the world not only to Glenn but to quarterback Zach Wilson (who’s been rightfully crucified by the press) and every single person in that locker room. After all the negative noise and well-deserved criticism, they’ve been battered with over the last few weeks, this victory is a reminder that they aren’t dead yet.
