The Facts: Following up on a previous item. ... When the lockout lifted and the 49ers were allowed to begin making contact with their players, nobody with the team was able to reach Gore, a source said. Now Gore, entering the final year a contract he signed in March 2007, is planning to hold out from Thursday's opening of training camp, ESPN reports.

Diehards Line:When reached via phone Wednesday morning, agent Drew Rosenhaus told CSN's Matt Maiocco he was working on a number of deals and was unavailable for comment. ... Gore missed the final five games of last season with a hairline fracture of his right hip. Rosenhaus has repeatedly stated in the past month that Gore, who spent the offseason rehabbing in Miami, is 100 percent. New HC Jim Harbaugh has made it clear that Gore will be a centerpiece of his offense. "It won't be the type of thing where we have Frank Gore come off the field too much because he's one of the best backs in the league, in my opinion," Harbaugh said. ... And it now appears Gore wants to be paid as such. The reported franchise number for RBs -- the top five salaries at the position -- for this season is $9.86 million. Gore is scheduled to count $7.133 million against the 49ers' salary cap. He is scheduled to make $2.9 million in base salary, plus $2 million in a roster bonus and $100,000 in a workout bonus.
