Frank Gore visiting Dolphins

[DuderinoN703]

They need a veteran RB. Murray, Gore, Bo Jackson. Whoever it is he won’t be counted on to be the main back nor will he need to get 1,000 yards and 10 TDs.

Miami still must draft a RB but as with the potential of Murray on the team, the experience of young guys mixed with a vet can’t be understated.

This is like the Amendola deal if we sign him. A vet who can provide a lot more off the field than on.

 

[AL R]

Still had almost 1,000 yds last year and almost same YPC and receptions as the young D Willimas who people seem to want re signed.

I don't love this, and I don't hate this.

His numbers were better than Murray's last year BTW.

As long as its for near veteran minimum and more as a RB3 than RB2 (whom I guessing we will draft).

it better not be for anywhere near the Amendola money!

Why wouldn't anyone want Frank Gore. Sure, age is a factor, but come on. Kenyan Drake has to prove he is the feature back for an entire season and having a veteran there--especially if Drake gets hurt--is imperative.

Besides, he still puts up solid numbers. He doesn't need to be THE guy, but you want someone who knows how to get it done, can teach our young backs, and still produce.

 

[BobDole]

A lot of tread on those tires but a huge vet presence in the room could be welcome. A very respected and hard worker.

I don't know about this one. I have to apply the Matt Moore logic here. For a few carries a game and a solid vet presence in the RB room, sure; but do we trust him to be the guy if Drake goes down? I'd like to know who the RB3 will be before getting behind this but the draft hasn't happened yet and he'll be cheap so whatever.

 

[BlueUndertow]

Im still trying to figure out how were drafting a TE a LB a QB and a RB in the first 3 rds?

The answer of course is good ole Tannenbaum magic. i.e. mortgage your future for splashy results today. If you don't think Tannenbaum isn't trading up in the draft then you haven't been watching Tannenbaum.

 

[The Goat]

He's basically been the same RB for the past three years; if he takes a vet minimum contract, I can't see why anyone would be upset with this. I mean, what's to complain about, Gore potentially taking Sinorise Perry's roster spot?

 

[uk_dolfan]

Damn dude, you seem upset with literally everything this team does.

Pretty much, the guys in charge are pretty damn awful. But I am happy to admit when they occasionally stumble into something smart like signing Sitton.

Maybe:

2016 IND 1,025 yds
2017 IND 961 yds

 

[Phinatic8u]

I love it. Even at 35 he had a solid year. His leadership and work ethic will be huge for the locker room and especially Drake and a rookie RB.

He had a better season than Ajayi in '17, so I am sure he won't come here for chump change.

 

[AL R]

He won’t and definitely wont sign for the vet min. He almost had a deal in place with the Lions but they signed Blount.

He made like 3 m with the Colts I believe last yr

He may just come in for a visit check in and leave like D murray did.

 

[sleek]

He's got solid consistent career numbers and seems to play hard through the whole season even if the team he is on is not very good. I'd take him.
