The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... Gore told friends he was more intrigued by the chance to play in the Indianapolis Colts' offense than with the Philadelphia Eagles' personnel, and that's part of the reason he pulled out of an expected deal with Philly, sources told FOX Sports late Monday night.
Diehards Line:Gore's decision earlier Monday came a day after Gore informed the Eagles he was going to sign with the team in free agency. Gore had second thoughts on several fronts, including the financials. But Gore also had significant concerns from a football standpoint, and one of them was whether the Eagles would struggle without Jeremy Maclin, who is said to be signing with the Chiefs, and without a big-time receiving threat. The Eagles also have an unsettled quarterback situation, whereas the Colts have Andrew Luck under center, T.Y. Hilton taking the top off of defenses and tight end Coby Fleener coming into his own. In addition, it sounds like Andre Johnson is heading to Indy as well.
