Dolphins To Meet With Frank Gore

Frank Gore could finish his football career back where it all started. Gore is slated to visit with the Dolphins on Thursday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com (on Twitter).

Gore was born in Coral Gables, Florida and played his college football at the University of Miami. With the Hurricanes, Gore averaged 5.7 yards per carry and became a third round pick of the Niners in 2005. Thirteen years later, GMs regret allowing him to slip all the way to No. 65 overall. Gore has had a remarkable career and has been shockingly durable throughout as well. He has missed only 12 possible regular season games in his career and has missed none since 2010.
The five-time Pro Bowler is no longer among the very best at his position, but he remains healthy and somewhat productive on the verge of his 35th birthday. Last year, Gore ran for 961 yards off of 261 carries, giving him a 3.7 yards per carry average. That wasn’t terribly efficient, but he did add 29 catches for 245 yards and one score.

I seem to be in the minority, but I would have let Bell go and put that cap money into a FS, ILB, and Frank Gore to augment the young RB Connor.

Dolphins To Sign RB Frank Gore

Let it go Frank

I'd like to think this is his last year, and he can retire knowing he had a hell of a run which ended where it started. A player I have nothing but respect for.

Not horrible if the money is small. Keeps Drake's carries down. Not sure where the Dolphins are going in 2018, but it probably isn't the playoffs.

Other than the CTE factor, which by this point he's been screwed for many years now...if some team is willing to shell out money for gore's services then he is absolutely justified in playing as long as he wants.

Gore won't and shouldn't be the featured back but he will probably get goalline and running-out-the-clock sort of work. He is still a tough runner with the football and he still has a role to play, and if he doesn't then it's Miami's fault for signing him and not his fault.

Unless we find out that things have really changed and the AFC west or AFC south are real juggernauts with multiple contenders each, the fact is the afc is a weak enough conference, or at least has been for two years running, that completely mediocre or even sub-mediocre teams like Buffalo and Tennessee made the playoffs last year. I don't see a reason why that couldn't be Miami if the Afc wildcard spots are as weak as they have been in recent seasons.

That clearly doesn't mean Miami is a good team...but they're better than the colts without Luck, I suppose.

Seems like a decent situation for both backs.


Drake isn't a feature guy.
