The San Francisco 49ers want to keep Frank Gore around a little longe — despite the presence of other clubs around the league looking to show the veteran some respect.

“I think we’ll figure out a way. That’s my feeling,” team CEO Jed York told the San Francisco Chronicle when asked about the prospect of re-signing the veteran running back.
49ers coach Jim Tomsula told reporters at last month’s NFL Scouting Combine that “talks are ongoing” with Gore ahead of Tuesday’s free-agency launch.
“I mean, Frank Gore, we talk about all the things that he has — you mentioned the leadership and the passion and all those things — but let’s not overlook that he is a prolific running back in the National Football League,” Tomsula said at the time. “I’m a big Frank Gore guy.”
