Frank Gore is scheduled to become a free agent on March 10 for the first time of his career.

“I know the fans love me,” he wrote on his Instagram account Sunday, “but I need to know if the management does but I’m going to love my fans no matter what.”

A source close to Gore says he wants another 1,000 yard season while playing for a Super bowl contender.

Gore would need to be the 49ers’ lead running back to gain 1,000 yards. He earned nearly $6.5 million in each of the last two seasons.
