After all, he has as lot of miles on him, so despite what he has done in the past, teams will evaluate him on what he can do for them in the future. The result is, he is worth more here than he will be anywhere else, but if he wants to break the salary cap structure, then he should walk next year. By that time, Hunter or Dixon or someone else may prove to be a very good RB and Gore will not be the vital cog he has been in the past.
Yeah pretty much that is what I am saying.
If he plays out this year we get a chance to see what we really haev in hunter and Dixon, and then we can draft gore's replacement, or try to resign him at that point. If we trade him now, we have currently crap in dixon, and an intriguing prospect in Hunter, neither with enough experience, or no clue on how injury prone they could be.
That would leave us with ALEX Smith to carry the whole offensive burden...... I love gore though, and would hate to see him in another team's colors, imagine him breaking one of those 60 yard td runs in a cowboys or cardinals jersey.
