That's just a figure of speech. I very much doubt that at this very moment, Frank Gore is rolling around in the nude on top of U.S. currency. He could if he wanted to, though.Rewarding him for a monstrous 2006 campaign, the 49ers extended his contract today and stuffed some moolah into his pockets. The deal includes $14 million guaranteed, which sounds like a lot, and in fact, is a lot ... but I don't know, it seems like backup guards are getting that these days.
But it's an extension, and not something he picked up in free agency, so I guess he can't complain. And neither can the 49ers, as Gore last year established himself as one of the best backs in football, and all things considered, the 49ers are getting him at a pretty good price.

He deserves it.
He definitly deserves the raise. He is a damn good back and one of the 49ers only shinning stars.
I beleive Frank Gore deserved the contract, he had a very good year. he is one of our best backs in recent years, so that much is good for him and the 49ers, now we can focous on getting better year after year. now as long as Alex Smith grows into the player everyone thinks he can be, teh we will be back on top in no time. watch the 49ers are going to shock all very soon. go Niners, soon to be World Champs agin soon.!!!
Gore has improved but he should not ask too much so they could get more players that fit in winning our team. If he gets all the money then we couldn't get any help for him to win.
i think frank gore has proved himself worthy of that money, sure it's more than we all expected but think... if you were a player and demanded more maoney and then they ACTUALLY gave it to you, would you seriously hold back? common, it's not just a sport, it's his preofession, he deserves that money, regardless of those who think he doesn't. get than money GORE and take us to the top where we belong!! You won't dissappoing me!!
I think he deserves the money hes getting. Hes one of the best players the niners have and one of the oldest. He's one of the reasons why we win games, even though it aint most of them but we still win games. All the niners need is more time with the players beacuse we have nothing but rookies and in time we will soon go to the superbowl and become champs for the sixth time. so its good gore is staying with us and in my opinion he is one of the best backs in the league and with out him we wouldnt be as good. so go niners and i hope we have a better season this year.
hey forty niners fans u got a lot to look forward too with vernan coming back and gore coming off a good season. And alex smith has a deep threat if he can catch. We'll see in the draft about the defense and let see if clements if worth that much but if any of u watched him in buffalo he was awesome. cya
