I'd say a second rounder or prefferably not trade him at all.

No, let's move Frank to safety, like Manny Lawson.

I agreed it... I just thinking about Gore why he said... he wanted retired as 49ers in the future? Hmm!! I think, he loved the 49ers for forever somethings because i feel it in him. If he signed it for our team then he is real the deal? Then Must ask Gore the questions for very serious... If race the close score games then he must hold the ball that don't be fumble... If he had a problem that happen for fumble? that is ok or whatever.. Let me good idea. He can play in 1st Quarters, 2nd Quarters and 3rd Quaters and not put him in 4th Quaters why? i think, he is probably bad lucky like fumble or lose games... Hunter or Dixon should play in 4th Quarters if we get a win games..
maybe a first rounder, but i dunno..i'm always down with making moves to upgrade the roster, but trading frank just seems wrong. He's a true 49er, look at the things he said after ending his hold-out, and think about what he's done for us up until pretty much the end of his prime. I doubt he's even lost a step,been looking pretty good so far in limited carries this preseason. I wanna see him as a Niner until he's on his last legs, at which point his departure would at least be somewhat expected.
Bellicheat gets rid of guys who have one, maybe two yrs left, then gets a first or second rd pick for him, tho usually a first. Right now if somebody dangled a CB that has contract issues, or is UDFA about to be cut/ or make cut, that might be of interest. Getting rid of frank to just get rid of him...i don't think anyone wants that.

A THIRD? That is far too low. A first rounder, and that is it. Frank is a GREAT running back right NOW. This isn't Taylor Mays we're talking about. This isn't some guy with potential. Frank Gore is a GREAT football player. Not "average" or "over the hill". He is tough as hell, and will be very good for at least 4 more years. You don't DIE when you hit 30. Just ask Jerry Rice.


I agree 100%, Gore is still the best overall back in the league!!!! There are backs that specialize in running or catching, and few do both great. If u take gore's football iq and the intangibles that he brings to the game, gore is still an elite back!!

GORE = 3 rd round pick, ur nuckin futs !!!!

You don't get it. You are correct in that Gore is worth a 1st round pick...TO US. To another team on the other hand who see's him getting older, getting hurt, and playing a very de-valued position, he is worth nowhere near a 1st.

Its not up to the 49ers or us fans to decide what he's worth. He is "worth" what another team would be willing to offer. Right now, that ain't much.

Bottom line, he's worth more to the Niners than any other team so he should just stay.

I'm going to assume thats a joke and move on.
Gore and a 1st round pick for Chris Johnson.
Chris johnson will not get traded so stop saying trade Gore for Johnson.
Trade Chris Johnson for Gore.
I think we should trade Gore for Chris Johnson.
I think we should trade Chris Johnson for a bag of peanuts and M&M's

that's a Scot McCloughan trade; Baalke would get straight-up Peanut M&M's. He don't f**k around.

This. It's all about perceived value. Not to mention, when was the last trade where a RB generated a really high return? Champ Bailey for Portis?

If someone was to throw a 1st at us for Frank, I'd have to take it(talk about hurting my heart, though). Other than that, try to get a reasonable deal done to extend him, or draft a replacement next year if need be, thank him for his years of service, and wish him well with his new team.
