Well, this is about as solid as it comes. ESPN’s Josina Anderson reports:
Meanwhile, Inquirer Eagles beat writer Jeff McLane (along with many others) on Frank Gore:
The Eagles have a deal with Frank Gore that would bring the former 49ers running back to Philadelphia to help replace the just-traded LeSean McCoy, NFL sources told The Inquirer.
The particulars of the contract were unknown, but Gore is believed to be in line for a three-year deal that would net the free agent $7.5 million in guaranteed money in the first two years. The 32-year-old running back will be entering his 11th season in the NFL. Known for his straight-ahead power running, Gore amassed 11,073 yards and 80 touchdowns and averaged 4.5 yards per carry during his ten seasons in San Francisco.
Unofficially, the Eagles have added Kiko Alonso (linebacker), Byron Maxwell (cornerback), and Frank Gore (running back) before free agency or the draft. Anyone still concerned about Chip Kelly having total control?
