A league source tells us that 49ers running back Frank Gore has defected from Dunn, and has signed with agent Drew Rosenhaus.
Gore, a former Miami tailback, is one of the few ball-carriers from the “U” (or the “M” if your adopted last name rhymes with “Moonshine”) who wasn’t already in the Rosenhaus stable. The Miami-based agent already represent Edgerrin James, Willis McGahee, and Clinton Portis.
Word is that Gore is angling for an extension with the 49ers (and that the team has expressed interest in doing so), and that Gore was uncomfortable with the uncertainty surrounding Dunn.
Gore was a third-round pick in 2005, and is signed through 2007. He’s earning $350,000 this year and will make $385,000 next year.
