PFT has confirmed that the veteran running back is visiting the Dolphins today, returning to the scene of his college stardom.
Gore left the University of Miami after the 2004 season, and has racked up 14,026 yards in the NFL since. That means he’s both accomplished and old, as he turns 35 in May.
But the Dolphins could use some ballast, both in terms of the offense and the locker room. And adding a player so widely respected could only be a good thing for a team that’s been in constant flux.Irishman likes this. -

typical Miami signing, Arian foster #2.
even cheap what's he bringing to the table?
I could also be over reacting as wellPuka-head likes this. -
For a cheap, team friendly deal, he would be a good get actually. He's finished as a primary runner, but he's not terrible overall, and he's actually still pretty solid with short yardage work. Also good vet leadership.
Again though, needs to be cheap and team friendly.Irishman, ripper1961 and Mafioso like this. -

Like this signing, he'll be motivated to play in his home town... guy's got some mileage but is still going strong and is a good locker room presence. He'll be the thunder to Drake's lightning and we can still take a RB in the later rounds of the draft.

Very solid signing. Welcome home, future HOF'er.

I don't know. I don't find this very exciting. Hopefully we get some usefulness out of him, but if we find someone talented in rookie free agency, Gore's carries are likely to be in the single digits per game.

I hope this is a win, win. I know he has to help us in some way, but thinking of him finishing his career, in his home area, with his friends and family makes me smile. It’s a nice way to finish your career ( I am assuming this will be it).

He may be old but he's always been a pro,a good locker room addition and will bring another offensive weapon to the arsenal.

The early decade canes were almost an NFL team, in 2001 five players went in the first round alone. -

Nice little article about Gore with some 2017 highlights.
It is a fine pick up.Carmen Cygni and danmarino like this. -
I think this is a great signing, a real win win for both parties. Yes he is old but he has still been very productive. He is not signed as our feature back but as a locker room leader for a bunch if guys that need some good leadership.
Welcome home to Miami! -
I've got those ESPN 'The U' documentaries which really captures the atmosphere of the time. Must have been great to have been there.Carmen Cygni likes this. -
Any contract details yet? For him or brock? Maybe I missed it but I have seen anything.
