“The star running back agreed to a three-year, $45.75 million extension on Friday”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
The evidence directly contradicts the claim. A 'Jets insider' (Connor Hughes) specifically refutes reported contract extension updates for Breece Hall, stating it is not the case that Hall and his agents are turning down offers, and no source confirms a $45.75 million deal; instead, a different player (Walker) is mentioned with a $43.1 million deal.
