Frank Gore Asks For Trade? (UPDATED - NOPE)

Frank Gore said that he and his agent were set to meet Monday with the San Francisco 49ers to figure out a way to make him happy. Gore wants a new contract, and there have been reports that if he doesn't get one, he'll demand a trade. Even though he wants one I don't see how it is going to happen. The 49ers are going to think he has more value then teams are going to be willing to give up. Gore is coming off one of his worst seasons, and is 29 years old. That gives him 2 years before he hits that wall for RBs of 30 years old. With him wanting a huge long term contract, no one is going to go out and give up first round picks, ect. My guess is that he will be a 49er, and I think he'll be really stupid if he holds out.





***UPDATE***



Yea, I think we all knew he wasn't going anywhere, as Gore signs a three year deal for $21 million with $13.5 million guaranteed. I actually think this is a great deal for the 49ers, as he will be 31 when the contract ends, and they can move on without being tied down. Plus, he is worth that money. Nice job 49ers, now go get a real QB.

Fitzgerald Begging Arizona To Sign Braylon Edwards

"Adam Schein of Fox Sports and Sirius NFL Radio reports that Larry Fitzgerald and Kerry Rhodes have gone to management of the Cardinals to lobby for the team to sign Edwards (ESPN)."

In a lot of ways it makes sense. The Cardinals have brought in Kolb and they might as well give him as many options as possible. That being said, I like Early Doucet and would like to see what he can do as a #2 WR. Edwards is good and they should grab him if the money is right, but I have a feeling he is going to want to get paid like he is a #1 WR and he just drops too many balls for him to get that kind of money.

Then again, the Cardinals are trying to lock Fitzgerald up long term and might want to do anything just to make him happy.
