The San Francisco 49ers are saying all the right things about keeping running back Frank Gore, while a dark-horse candidate has emerged for his services.
Philadelphia needs a replacement for LeSean McCoy — and NJ.com is reporting that Frank Gore could be that man.
A person with knowledge of the situation, who requested anonymity, told NJ Advance Media that the Eagles have expressed interest in free-agent running back Frank Gore.
That person said a deal with the San Francisco 49ers star could get done as early as Tuesday, the first day free agents can sign with another team.
At this point, teams are not allowed to offer contracts to free agents. It is not clear how much it might cost the Eagles to sign Gore
Gore finished last season with 1,106 yards on 255 carries and four touchdowns and was one of 13 running backs to gain more than 1,000 yards last season, rabking 10th among backs in the NFL.
