As the Jets wrap things up at 1 Jets drive in Florham Park, head coach Adam Gase met with the media and wasted no time in distancing himself from running back Le’Veon Bell when given a softball question early on during the session. Asked if he would like Bell, one of the best running backs in the NFL, to return next season, Gase deferred to GM Joe Douglas.
After saying Bell was “under contract” for the next three years, he was pressed not about the contract, but his own personal preference in having Bell back. Gase told the press that they could “ask Joe (Douglas) tomorrow” as Gase is not in charge of personnnel.
