Chiefs Target Breece Hall in Blockbuster Trade After Social Media Hints
Breece Hall’s cryptic social media post — which included a GIF and a hashtag hinting at dissatisfaction — has stirred the rumor mill. According to insiders, Hall “wants to be moved” from the Jets, and Kansas City has been mentioned as a potential suitor. Analysts have pointed out that Hall’s explosiveness and speed (4.39‑second 40‑yard dash) would fit perfectly in the Chiefs’ high‑octane offense, especially with the running back position having been a point of concern in recent games following Isiah Pacheco's injury struggles.
From the Jets’ perspective, general manager Darren Mougey revealed that the team had fielded trade offers for Hall but deemed none sufficient. Hall’s asking price is reportedly a third-round pick, which has kept several suitors from making serious offers thus far.
In the Jets’ locker room, Hall’s frustration was evident when he spoke out after the GIF went viral. "I’m here to win, not to watch," Hall said, his voice filled with determination. "If I’m not being used to my fullest potential, it’s time for me to find a place that will use me to get the job done. I need to be part of a team that’s going all-in for the future."
If Kansas City can pull off this trade, it would give them a game‑breaking talent who can take over games and add much-needed depth to their backfield. But the Chiefs will need to be cautious, as Hall carries some injury history and is in the final year of his rookie contract. The trade would likely require giving up valuable draft picks and some younger talent.
Still, Hall’s cryptic post and Kansas City’s pressing need for an elite rusher make this one of the most intriguing trade rumors heading into the deadline. Hall’s desire for a fresh start could be the spark that pushes this deal forward, but whether or not the Chiefs can strike a deal with the Jets remains to be seen.
NFL drops the hammer on Micah Parsons in a way that makes the Packers feel even worse after loss to the Eagles
The Green Bay Packers lost to the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night. And it was despite a great defensive effort, giving up only 10 points — which wasn’t enough in an uninspiring performance by the offense, which scored seven. To make things even worse, the NFL has just fined star edge defender Micah Parsons.
Parsons was punished for tripping on Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts. During the play, the refs didn’t call a penalty, but the league decided to fine Parsons $12,172 as part of its weekly round of punishments. The play was considered unnecessary roughness, and categorized as striking/kicking/tripping/kneeing.
Since the Packers acquired him from the Dallas Cowboys, Micah Parsons has been insanely productive. Against the Eagles, he generated seven pressures, and that was his fourth game this season with at least seven — he had a season-high 10 exactly against the Cowboys in Week 4.
The other Packers players to be fined this season have been safety Xavier McKinney, punished because of a taunting penalty during the Week 1 win over the Detroit Lions; linebacker Ty’Ron Hopper, fined $6,891 because of a facemask penalty in Week 2 against the Washington Commanders; linebacker Quay Walker, punished for a hit on a quarterback in Week 7; and safety Evan Williams, fined $6,448 for unnecessary roughness by hitting the quarterback against the Carolina Panthers in Week 9.
NFL fines
While it’s tough to see football players losing money like that for normal plays, at least it goes to a good cause. The fines collected are donated to the Professional Athletes Foundation to support legends in need.
Players are notified of violations and may appeal any ruling. Appeals officers, such as former NFL players Derrick Brooks, Ramon Foster, and Jordy Nelson, who are jointly appointed and paid by the NFL/NFLPA, hear cases. The decisions made are final and binding.
The potential violations include offenses against game officials, player safety rules or flagrant personal fouls, fighting, sportsmanship, uniform rules, and gang signing.
Last year, the Packers were among the least penalized teams in football in this area. In 2024, 543 plays resulted in fines, or 1.16% of all plays in the season.
