RB Frank Gore says he plans to sign one-day contract with 49ers to retire with team [View all]

"We're still trying to figure out when I'm going to do my one-day contract. To sign, do my retirement," Gore said on the SFNiners YouTube channel. He offered a timeline of a "couple months" for it to take place.

Gore, 38, said he hopes to work in the Niners' front office.

"I love looking at talent. I love evaluating talent and I love ball," Gore said. "And they [the 49ers] know that I know football players, what it's supposed to take to be a football player."

Gore was a third-round pick of the 49ers out of Miami in the 2005 draft. He played the first 10 years of his career in San Francisco before stops in Indianapolis, Miami, Buffalo and with the Jets. He did not play for a team last season.
