Frank Gore just finished the 16th year of his Hall of Fame-worthy NFL career. His 16,000 rushing yards rank No. 3 all-time, with only Emmitt Smith and Walter Payton ahead of him. Many wonder if Gore's illustrious career will continue or if we've seen the running back on an NFL field for the last time.
Gore joined 95.7 The Game on Friday morning and was asked if he is preparing to play in 2021.
"I don't know yet," Gore responded on
The Morning Roast. "I'm still going to take my time, make a decision. We'll see. I know I still can play the game. I know my team I was on last year, it was rough, but I thought when I got opportunities, I showed that I still can play. I'm still having fun out there."
What about the San Francisco 49ers? Would Gore consider a return to the team that drafted him in 2005?
"I would come back in a heartbeat ... fast," Gore said. "Man, I would love it, to wear that No. 21 jersey one more time. If that was to happen, that would definitely be my last year, if I could come back and sign with the 49ers.
"I respect Jed. I respect the York family. I respect Kyle (Shanahan). I feel like he's one of the best play-callers in the game right now.
"And I think if they didn't get a bunch of injuries, I thought they would have been right back in it, had a chance to run for it again, just because of the way the coaches call the game. And they've got some great players over there."
After a season with the New York Jets, Gore becomes an unrestricted free agent in March.
Added Gore: "You've got to tell Jed and Kyle to bring me back."

NFL insider states the obvious regarding 49ers' talks with Brandon Aiyuk
ESPN insider Adam Schefter recently shared his insights on the situation surrounding San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk during an appearance on the network's "NFL Live" show. Schefter clarified that while Aiyuk would like to remain with the 49ers, his priority is securing a contract that reflects his value, regardless of the team.
When questioned about Aiyuk's desire to stay with the team that selected him in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, Schefter responded, "Well, I think his desire to get paid is greater than his desire to stay in San Francisco, wherever that is. If the 49ers want to pay him, I'm sure he'd love to stay in San Francisco. If another team would like to pay him, I'm sure he'd like to go
49ers' Brock Purdy addresses young fan's question about scripted NFL
Taylor Swift, the Kansas City Chiefs, and a Super Bowl overtime matchup. If the NFL is scripted, the league came up with a good one this past season—unless you're a San Francisco 49ers fan.
During his inaugural youth football camp at Levi's Stadium this past weekend, 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy faced a candid inquiry from one young participant: Is the NFL scripted?
"No, the NFL is not scripted," a smiling Purdy responded. However, the quarterback added, "Good
Insiders identify late risers who 49ers could target in NFL Draft
With the 2024 NFL Draft less than a week away, ESPN contributors have highlighted some prospects who have seen their draft stock rise throughout the evaluation process. Jordan Reid and Matt Miller pinpointed players who could hear their names called at the end of the first round.
Interestingly, both of the prospects identified by Reid and Miller play in the trenches but on different sides of the ball. The San Francisco 49ers are widely expected to draft an offensive lineman with their first selection—No. 31 overall. The team mostly ignored the group in free agency. However, it wouldn't surprise many people if the
Insider believes 49ers are letting Brandon Aiyuk gauge interest around the NFL
If the San Francisco 49ers decide to trade wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, it's likely to occur within the next four days—before or during Day 1 of the 2024 NFL Draft. Despite some unconfirmed rumors, there has been no concrete indication that a trade is imminent. Previously, the 49ers had expressed a desire to retain Aiyuk for the foreseeable future.
Aiyuk's agent, Ryan Williams, has swiftly refuted rumors, including one alleging that the receiver had requested a trade, claiming that the Pittsburgh Steelers were "aggressively pursuing" the receiver.
