The Facts:
Gore has one year remaining on his contract, but 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh believes the nine-year veteran has a future well beyond this season. “I really think Frank has three more good years,” Harbaugh said Wednesday at the NFL owners meetings. “I truly believe that. But we’re in a game of taking it one year at a time.”

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Gore, who turns 31 in May, is scheduled to earn $6.45 million this season. He rushed for 1,128 yards and nine touchdowns last season. Gore is the 49ers’ all-time leading rusher with 9,967 yards. He has eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark in seven of his nine NFL seasons. There has been some talk about adding a free-agent to the backfield mix, but Kendall Hunter and LaMichael James provide solid depth with play-making ability. Assuming Gore leaves the field. But he doesn't do that much and he's continues to provide solid fantasy football value on an annual basis. Can he do it three more years? That seems like a reach, but one good year doesn't seem unreasonable.
