Neither were cornerback Sauce Gardner and wide receiver Garrett Wilson, but they received extensions before training camp. All three players were part of the Jets' 2022 draft class.

Allen's knee injury in Week 4 — he is expected to be out until at least December — complicates the matter. If they were to trade Hall, they'd
