Talks between the 49ers and running back Frank Gore haven't progressed as expected, but general manager Trent Baalke has expressed a desire to get a deal done. "The best thing we can say is we're doing everything we can to make Frank a 49er for life and whether that gets accomplished in the near future or not remains to be seen," Baalke told Pat Kirwan and Tim Ryan of SiriusXM NFL Radio. "But Frank's a 49er. He's a heck of a football player, he's a heck of a young man, and he's a leader. You can't say enough good things about Frank."
