The Dolphins have agreed to sign running back Frank Gore, according to Mike Florio of PFT (on Twitter). It’s a one-year deal for the veteran. 
Gore, a potential future Hall of Famer, now has the opportunity to finish his career where it all began. Gore was born in Coral Gables, Florida and made his name at the University of Miami. After ten seasons in San Francisco and three seasons in Indianapolis, he gets to ply his craft in Miami once again.
The Dolphins project to start Kenyan Drake at running back, but the opportunity is there for Gore to split carries with him. The remainder of the Dolphins’ running back depth chart is decidedly less accomplished than Gore as Senorise Perry, De’Veon Smith, and Brandon Radcliff are all former undrafted free agents with minimal live action on their resume.
Gore, 35 in May, has 14,000+ career rushing yards to his credit, as well as five Pro Bowl selections. He nearly turned in a tenth 1,000 yard season in 2017, but he averaged just 3.7 yards per carry. Gore is no longer the star that he was with the 49ers, but he can still be a useful piece in Miami’s backfield. From the Dolphins perspective, it’s a low-risk proposition that they can bail on, if necessary, without any real financial penalty.

Welcome back to Miami
Love it. Need gore home for one last season.
This would have been exciting 5 years ago
I agree, but he can still be a nice compliment to drake. Really like the pickup for the dolphins.
Love the Drake
Surprised he doesn’t want to sign in Philly now…LMAO
Happy for Gore. Top 4 all time in yards a lock now.
Love Gore. The guy is hard worker, stays out of trouble and takes care of himself. He is very underrated. He isn’t what he once was but is still a good back in this league and he gets to finish his career home. Would love to see him retire a 9ers still though.
Good for Gore, but like the Sitton signing adding decent but aging veterans doesn’t really make sense for a team that has no chance of being competitive next year.
If nothing else, Frank can pass on some valuable tips to teammates on how to improve their durability. It’s hard not to love a guy who was once fined by Goodell for wearing his socks too low.
Don’t be so sure about the Dolphins not being competitive next year. That’s why they play the games.
Agreed. Last year was mostly cutler costing the phins wins. The only hole not plugged from the players that were cut, is dt (suh). Better line, and tannehill is back.
