49ers RB Frank Gore Could Request Trade



According to Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com, San Francisco 49ers running back Frank Gore is frustrated with the status of talks towards a new contract and may request a trade.

PFT's source close to the talks describes the talks as "volatile".

The 28-year-old Gore is set to earn $4.375 million in total compensation, including a $2.9 million base salary, in the final year of his contract. A fractured hip limited Gore to just 11 games in 2010, ending the two-time Pro Bowlers streak of 1,000-yard seasons at four. Gore has also added 270 receptions for 2,283 yards and nine touchdowns during his six-year career.

Gore, who is looking for DeAngelo Williams money, briefly held out of training camp, but has started both preseason games and has 41 yards on eight carries.

Williams' deal is worth $43 million over five years with $21 million in guarantees. Williams will receive $19.5 million in the first year, $25 million over the first two, and $30 million over three.
