NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The New York Jets made good on head coach Adam Gase’s promise to lessen the workload of running back Le’Veon Bell with the signing of 37-year-old veteran Frank Gore to a one-year contract on Tuesday.
Gore, a likely future Hall of Famer, is entering his 16th year in the NFL and is third on the all-time rushing list. He is coming off a season in which he started eight games for the Jets’ divisional rivals, the Buffalo Bills. Gore has some familiarity with Gase’s offensive system having played for the coach during his final year in Miami in 2018.
