No official word from gore yet.

No official word from gore yet.

has not been confirmed by any direct sources.

But none the less it is the best news that this team has had in a while.

 

[CalamityX11]

this is a good thing....

 

[imac_21]

I will wait until I know the details before I call it a good thing.

 

[maniax]

I suppose there is some injury clauses in there?

I have no problem paying Frank $6-7M/year with injury and performance clauses in there.

 

[freaak]

I would've preferred they wait to see how he performs this season, but I know that's not how these things work. I wouldn't have been hurt if this were his final season in SF.

Talk about jumping the gun. Until it's officially reported...

I'm with you imac. I am afraid we over paid him way too much for someone that is aging and more injury prone than just about anybody.

As a fan I'm personally very happy they extended him.

The devil's probably in the details on this one. Even if it's a big contact I won't freak out right away.

I couldn't help think that seeing him sitting on the sideline Sunday was a great negotiation tool.

49ers have not announced any Frank Gore contract extension because he has not signed a contract extension, according to a team spokesman.

We'll see.

Team sources said they have NOT extended Gore as of yet.

To those who are cautious about details if/when the extension happens, what would be a figure you would be comfortable with, and what is the top range of what you would pay him?

 

[EaseUrStorm]

In a previous thread figures were coming out like 3 years ball park $15-$18 mil. I think that's reasonable.

I'd be willing to go 3/21 with a really good injury clause at the very top end. More than that is really pushing it.

What I really don't want to see is a contract past three years. I'd hate to see them do a back-loaded five year contract with a player like Gore. Just give him a 2-3 year contract and avoid the games.

agree, if there's a little injury protection, then thats fair.

the DeAngelo contract is a little high, but not so high its a "no way Jose". can't see how the 49ers will argue Gore doesn't deserve a contract same with DeAngelo?

 

[Ray_Dogg]

PFT is saying a league source says the deal is 3 for 21 in new money with 13.5 guaranteed.

 

[MW49ers5]

3yrs $21m $13.5 g
Per Maiocco, as per a league source

I do not follow football contracts as much as I do baseball, but I would be concerned with a contract that protects the team in the event of an injury. Doesn't that give the player an incentive to dog it?

Even DeAngelo doesn't deserve it lol
