Frank Gore will retire with the 49ers and join their front office

A San Francisco 49ers legend is finally hanging up his cleats. Running back, Frank Gore told Heidi Watney on an Instagram Live interview for Bovada that he plans to sign a one-day contract with the 49ers over the next few months and officially retire. Gore said he is in conversation with 49ers owner/CEO Jed York to iron out the specific details.

Gore hinted in the interview that he hoped to join the 49ers’ front office in a full-time capacity. The Athletic’s Matt Barrows reported that York and the team had not determined Gore’s exact role at this time but suggested that the running back will be joining their personnel department at some point soon.
