Hapless Bills Fan Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 5 hours ago, BADOLBILZ said: If Gore didn't tear up those knees he would have been in the conversation with Jim Brown, Sayers, OJ, Sanders as a big production + big play back as well . Frank Gore had Marshall Faulk speed and open field ability in addition to power. Easy to forget because he's still playing NOW......but at the time of his injuries ACL's weren't a given to repair and come back close to 100%. He was severely hampered by the surgeries and just turned into a relative grinder by comparison and has still been tremendous. Didn't Thurman Thomas play his entire career with a torn ACL? Just the question of whether the surgeries were wholly responsible for the change or if in part it's a matter of the college/NFL transition. Either way, Gore has still had a tremendous career.

He can’t sign for another 6 months at the earliest. 247 doesn’t show UB either but does show Miami unlike Rivals. Shows he has some interest in UK and no Crystal Ball prediction...

For all I know..Sal meant setting something up (visit) to UB.....which makes a lot of sense for obvious reasons.

SPOTRAC Adrian Peterson signed a 2 year, $5,030,000 contract with the Washington Redskins, including a $1,500,000 signing bonus, $1,500,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $2,515,000. In 2019, Peterson will earn a base salary of $1,030,000 and a signing bonus of $1,500,000, while carrying a cap hit of $1,780,000 and a dead cap value of $1,500,000.

I wonder if it will be broken this year? Since the NFL/AFL merger of those slated as a RB, I believe it's Marcus Allen is the oldest who played until he was 37. What Gore's doing is incredible. Has to be genetics and a hard work ethic. 2
