The Facts: Gould announced in March that he would not be re-signing with the 49ers, and instead would see what free agency has to offer him ahead of his 19th NFL season. Speaking to NFL.com on Thursday from the PGA Tour Champions Invited Celebrity Classic, Gould said that at this point in his life and career he knows what he wants out of a new team, with being closer to his family in Chicago and playing with a competitive organization as major factors. With those changing priorities in mind and his almost two decades of experience, Gould said he's being more particular about the free agency process when considering where he continues his career. "I'd love to win if possible," Gould said. "So I'm kind of being a little picky with that, but at 40 years old and playing 18 years in the league, I think I've earned the ability to do that."

Diehards Line: Before he came to the Bay Area, Gould spent the first 11 years of his career with the Bears. He set franchise records for career field goals made (276) and points scored (1,207), making a name for himself with his consistency and longevity. Now seven years after moving on from the Bears, Gould's former team could fit his qualifications for his next destination. When asked whether he'd consider returning to his first team, Gould was emphatic that if the opportunity presented itself, it'd be hard to say no. "For sure, if they called and said, 'Hey, we want you to play for us,' I'd do it in a heartbeat," he said. Despite the success Gould has had as an individual and with his teams, he said he's still looking to hit a few more milestones before hanging up the cleats. "Well first, I want to win a Super Bowl, obviously that means a lot to me. And secondly, it comes down to wanting to be able to score 2,000 points, maybe hit 500 field goals, and ultimately just win," Gould said. Currently sitting at 1,961 points and 447 field goals, Gould could pass those benchmarks in just a couple of years. As for the Super Bowl, the hope is that with whichever team he lands with, he'll be able to fight for that sought-after championship. While he still has that decision to make, Gould is ready to look toward the next phase of his career and whatever Year 19 holds for him.
