Frank Gore agrees to terms with Indianapolis Colts - NFL.com
"Two seasons removed from their ill-fated trade for Trent Richardson, the Indianapolis Colts have finally found a backfield star.
The Colts announced Tuesday that they have agreed to terms with former San Francisco 49ers running back Frank Gore. The deal includes $8.5 million in guarantees, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Gore, 31, pulled out of a deal with the Philadelphia Eagles that would have resulted in $7.5 million in guarantees.
Although Gore has University of Miami connections to coach Chuck Pagano and associate head coach Rob Chudzinski, the five-time Pro Bowl tailback told NFL Media analyst LaDainian Tomlinson that offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton was the big draw.
Gore is an excellent fit in Indianapolis, where Hamilton been trying to implement a reliable power-running scheme since the trade for Richardson in September of 2013.
For all of the handwringing over the Colts' offensive line, Indy backs have averaged close to 5.0 yards per carry -- with the exception of Richardson -- since that trade.
Gore no longer boasts breakaway speed, but has averaged more rushing yards per season (1,165) since age 28 than he did in his first six years (1,069) in the league. His pass-blocking excellence and short-yardage prowess will be a boon to Andrew Luck.
The Colts can further aid Luck by convincing fellow Hurricanes star Andre Johnson to sign the dotted line as Reggie Wayne's replacement. Johnson visited team headquarters, along with Gore, on Tuesday."
Wish Gore the best in Indy. Sad to see him go.

49ers, Torrey Smith strike five-year, $40M deal - NFL.com
"After watching Anquan Boldin thrive in San Francisco, the 49ers are hoping for a similar fate with their newest pass-catching import from the Baltimore Ravens.
NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday that wideout Torrey Smith has signed a five-year, $40 million contract with the Niners, according to a source.
Smith's deal shines down as a ray of hope during an otherwise wretched week for coach Jim Tomsula and general manager Trent Baalke.
All-Pro linebacker Patrick Willis has retired and free-agent running back Frank Gore is out the door, while wideout Michael Crabtree and guard Mike Iupati are expected to land elsewhere. For the Niners to avoid the NFC West basement in 2015, Smith must play a significant role.
The fifth-year receiver gives quarterback Colin Kaepernick something he's lacked in San Francisco: A field-stretching home-run hitter. Still, Smith is coming off a season that saw him post career lows in catches (49) and yardage (767) despite setting a personal record with 11 touchdowns. Five of those scores came over Baltimore's final four games, an example of Smith's ability to catch fire.
If he can pick up where he left, Smith will add an element of excitement to an offense and organization suddenly riddled with more questions than answers."

I would be very ok with that. Hopefully they fix up their defense. Now with that running threat and maybe I hear potentially Andre Johnson headed their way? should be a pretty good team next year
I wish Gore all the best he is probably in the best spot he could be in for getting that ring

You can't pay an aging back that kind of money. While Jed might be an idiot, Baalke and Marathe are geniuses when it comes to finding talented, cap friendly players.
