With less than a month to go until the NFL trade deadline, there are plenty of rumors flying around about players who could be on the move, available, and teams that are searching for those players.

For the New York Jets at 0-6, there are plenty of rumors surrounding their players who could be on the move. Of the Jets who could be on the move, Breece Hall is a player who's routinely brought up as a trade candidate.

Brian Costello of The New York Post shared a comment from Jets head coach Aaron Glenn on the Hall trade rumors. He was dismissive of the trade, sharing a two-word message on the ongoing trade rumors surrounding his star running back.

Aaron Glenn dismissive of Jets' Breece Hall trade rumors

When asked about the trade rumors surrounding Hall, Glenn stated simply, "They're rumors."

The implication is clear: Glenn is trying to shut down those rumors as just that, rumors. Many teams would be interested in adding Hall by the trade deadline, and the Jets, at 0-6, are likely to be sellers.

But, to what extent they sell is the question. However, Hall, who is in the final year of his rookie contract, is a much easier player to move than some others on the roster.

Jermaine Johnson and Will McDonald have been brought up in trade rumors, but Hall is the most likely player on the move. Even though Glenn is trying to dismiss those rumors, there's a lot of smoke surrounding a trade ahead of the deadline.

The 24-year-old running back would fetch a decent return for a half-season rental. He's an electric running back who is great out of the backfield as a receiver. In six games this season, Hall has 150 receiving yards and 410 rushing yards, but hasn't scored a touchdown.

Thanks to the Jets' offensive struggles this year, Hall hasn't had much chance to get going on the ground or through the air. But, he's still shown elite playmaking, and could be a great pickup for an offense in need of a new running back.

Trading Hall also makes sense for the Jets if they aren't planning to re-sign him in the offseason. Instead of letting him walk for nothing, they could move him at the deadline and recoup some value before seeing him leave the team.

However, Glenn is trying to paint a picture that Hall isn't going anywhere with this comment. While Hall could stay in New York, it would be far from a surprise if the Jets dealt the star running back this Fall.

For now, the Jets are holding onto Hall, and Glenn is dismissing the rumors as speculation and not fact. While he could still be dealt, the comments from Glenn indicate that the team is trying to keep him on the roster and not trade him this season.
