The Facts: Just days after Gore posted a message on Instagram about how he wasn't sure whether San Francisco wanted him back for another season, his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, and the 49ers have "engaged in contract discussions," according to Ed Werder of ESPN.
Diehards Line:
Drafted in the third round of the 2005 NFL Draft, Gore totaled 11,073 yards and 64 touchdowns on the ground over his 10-year career with the 49ers. He is the 20th player in NFL history to reach 11,000 rushing yards in a career. Last year, Gore also cracked the 1,000-yard threshold for the eighth time in his career, registering 1,106 rushing yards and four touchdowns. He is set to become a free agent on March 10. Meanwhile, Bleacher Report's Matt Miller reports the top landing spot for Gore is Indianapolis. "There's definitely a market for Frank Gore outside of San Francisco," Miller said. "The Indianapolis Colts are definitely going to be linked to him. The Trent Richardson trade has not worked out for them. They need a power running back. Chuck Pagano wants Frank Gore; Rob Chudzinski -- who has a Miami connection to Frank Gore -- also wants him." Miller also mentioned the Washington Redskins and the Miami Dolphins as places to watch, but when asked to give his thoughts on where the most likely destination is for Gore, Miller said the Colts.
