Frank Gore is Rolling Around in Money

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.
