Overview
- Bell made the accusation on Justin Laboy’s Respectfully podcast on Sunday, saying he saw Gase use cocaine at the Jets’ facility.
- He said it happened more than once, including shortly before practice, and he used the slang “white girl” while miming a snort.
- Gase now works on the Los Angeles Chargers’ offensive staff under head coach Jim Harbaugh.
- Reports on Monday noted that neither Gase nor the Chargers had responded to requests for comment, and no independent corroboration had surfaced.
- Bell and Gase overlapped in 2019 and 2020, when the Jets went 7-9 and then 2-14, after which Bell was released early in 2020 and Gase was fired at season’s end.
