Frank Gore signed with the New York Jets on a one-year deal, but the running back said he also had an offer from the Las Vegas Raiders before making his decision, according to Jim Trotter of NFL.com.

The difference was the relationship with Jets head coach Adam Gase, who was Gore's head coach in 2018 with the Miami Dolphins and an offensive assistant with the San Francisco 49ers in 2008.

"I got an opportunity to get back with a good friend and a guy I respect, and I'm happy that he wanted me to be on his team," Gore said.
