Jets coach Adam Gase had little to say Wednesday about the team’s move to release running back Le’Veon Bell.

Gase channeled his inner Bill Belichick and kept steering his answers toward the Dolphins, who the Jets play Sunday.

The team decided to release Bell on Tuesday night after failed attempts to trade him Monday and Tuesday. Bell’s time with the Jets will be remembered for his rocky relationship with Gase. Asked about the perception that he misused the former All-Pro, Gase did not say much.

“It’s irrelevant at this point,” Gase said.

Gase said “it didn’t work out” for the Jets and Bell after the two agreed to a four-year, $52.5 million contract in March 2019. Bell played just 17 games and earned $27.5 million of that deal. His production was minimal, and the two sides tired of each other. The breaking point came after Sunday’s loss to the Cardinals, when Bell felt he did not get the ball enough. He had 13 carries for 60 yards and one catch for 7 yards. Bell let the Jets know he was unhappy personally and on social media.

That led to the decision to try to trade Bell, but neither the Jets nor his agent could find a trade partner. The team opted to release him despite still owing him $6 million this year. Potential trade partners were scared off by the $8 million guaranteed for injury in 2021 in Bell’s contract.

“In regards to Le’Veon, that was the consensus we came to [Tuesday] night,” Gase said. “Spoke with him, for us we just felt it was best that we part ways. It gives him an opportunity to go somewhere else. For us, I want nothing but the best for him and getting the opportunity to go somewhere else and have success. It’s tough. It’s a tough decision to make. We felt like that was the best for us where we’re at right now. We have to move on to Miami.”

With Bell gone, Gase said rookie running back La’Mical Perine will have a larger role in the offense.

“Getting Perine really involved is going to be critical for us,” Gase said.

Bell had 74 yards on 19 carries in two games this season. He finished his 17-game run with the Jets with 863 rushing yards, 500 receiving yards and four total touchdowns.

The Jets have the No. 31-ranked offense in the NFL. With or without Bell, the offense has struggled in Gase’s two years here.

“At the end of the day, offensively, we haven’t really done a whole bunch to really impress anybody right now,” Gase said. “We’ve got a lot of things that we’ve got to get corrected and we’ve got a lot of things that we got to do better. We’ve got to coach better, we’ve got to play better, and that’s really as an entire team.”

Several players said they were shocked by the news on Tuesday night. Quarterback Sam Darnold said he exchanged text messages with Bell. He told Bell that he loved playing with him and wished him well.

“I saw it and I immediately thought of Joe [Douglas, GM] and Adam and those guys who are in positions to make these decisions for us,” Darnold said. “Obviously they’re going to do what they believe is the best for the team. I love Le’Veon, loved having him around, loved having him as a teammate. I obviously wish him nothing but the best moving forward.”
