Takeaways from Adam Gase’s quick end of year press conference

Here’s how Adam Gase wrapped up his first year in New York.

The Jets wrapped up their season with a win in Buffalo on Sunday, putting a 6-2 finish on a season that got off to a disastrous start for Adam Gase and company.

Overall, the Jets went 7-9 in Gase’s first year at the helm. On Monday, the head coach took questions on an eventful and disappointing year for Gang Green, as well as what lies ahead for him and the franchise.

Here’s what Gase had to say at his end of the year presser, which lasted just under 11 minutes.

Le’Veon Bell’s Future

Gase punted when asked about Le’Veon Bell’s future with the Jets, pointing out that GM Joe Douglas handles roster decisions.

“He’s under contract for three more seasons,” Gase said, offering a rather unenthusiastic answer when asked if he wants the running back to return in 2020.

Much has been made of the relationship between Bell and Gase, as Bell was often under or misused throughout the season, his worst as a pro. Gase, however, has had nothing but positive things to say about Bell publicly, so it will be interesting to see what happens moving forward. It will be difficult for the Jets to move the pricey back, so it’s best Gase keeps things cordial.
