When a Hall Of Fame running back without a Super Bowl ring comes to the New York Jets it tells you two things:

1.  He believes a Jets Super Bowl run is happening in the next 1-2 years.

2.  He respects and wants to play for Adam Gase.

SAR I

Or in a league built on speed, no one else wanted him. This doesn’t make the Jets better. He’s a downgrade from Powell. Period. 

[southtown24th]

I don't like it.

I LOVE it.

Bell-Gore-Perine

this is some backfield now.

Super Bowl!

[mrcoops]

Sad if this closes the door on a Powell return, but really happy to add Frank Gore.

He's had an amazing career, prepares like a man possessed, can still contribute, and is a great leader and locker room asset.

[Ohhthepain]

Big locker room addition.

Much improved from where we were pre draft

Weren’t there rumors gore disliked Gase? Doesn’t seem to be the case 

That was screwball Jay Ajayi.  Had his best year with Gase.  Gase dumped him, now I think he's out of football.  Gore loved him

[SomebodytoAnybody47]

Just means he’ll share the load with Bell. Which is dumb. 
And that Gase will barely use Perine or until it’s too late and we’ll ask why wasn’t he used more. 
 

Such a dumb move.

I know Gase loves Gore but do we really need a 35+ year old RB???  I wouldn't have done this

yup.

that's exactly what we need.

Perine and Bell do not do what Gore does.

[Jetlife33]

In New York, Gore will be reunited with head coach Adam Gase, who served as the Dolphins head coach during the running back’s stint in Miami. Gase was also an offensive assistant in San Francisco during Gore’s run with the team. In fact, ESPN’s Cameron Wolfe tweets that Gase tried to recruit the veteran last offseason.

Gore will instantly become the second running back on the depth chart behind Le’Veon Bell. The Jets are also rostering the likes of Kenneth Dixon, Josh Adams, and fourth-round rookie La’Mical Perine.

3rd and 1 looks pretty good for us now. 

But first and ten is lousy

 

[roscoeword]

what have we gained here, if he replaces Powell? Powell is younger, faster, and no less a solid citizen. Hate this move.

[nj meadowlands]

Wonder if this results in Douglas/Gase arguing over whether to keep Josh Adams or Frank Gore for a final RB roster spot.

This is the Josh McCown move for the RB group.

[tdoublee]

Gase desperately needs this guy in his locker room.

Sometimes it's the little moves like this that create a winning culture. Who's to say he didn't do that with Buffalo last season?

I like this move. Hopefully Bilal can find a team as well.

Trenton Cannon might be a goner.

Depends on whether they find a gunner at a different position, but yes potentially.

[Augustiniak]

this could just be protection in case bell gets hurt.  where else was gore going to sign?

Such a dumb move. 

Gore will get 3-5 touches per game.  Bell probably about 15-18, Perine will climb from 5 towards 10 and then higher if he earns it.

Gore wasn't signed to carry this offense man.  He's not really taking touches from anyone or "sharing the load."  This is a culture signing, ala giving $10M to Josh McCown.

[nj meadowlands]

Gase's management of the RB position has been comical.  I think I trust him to groom Darnold more than I trust him to figure out who to play at RB and how.

cannon was gone regardless.  he sucks.

It honestly seems JD and Gase are on the same page

Dependable.  Reliable.  Experienced.  Locker room leader.  Extremely hard worker.

These are the things you want in a backup player.  Someone the young guys can look up to.  Think of him not as a weapon, but as the Josh McCown calming influence to the young WRs and RBs on the squad.

A Miami reunion was in the cards if I’m not mistaken 

[British Jet]

Perine has Lev Bell and Frank Gore to learn from?

You couldn't have wanted a better RB duo in the room as a rookie.

[Daddy Wang Doodle]

For the past few years Gore has consistently stated he only intends on signing with a contender...

Or he’s A 37 y/o RB coming off of his worst season as a pro and nobody else wanted him.
