Getty ImagesSince we?ve provided ?the rest of the story? on a couple of new contract that weren?t first reported here, we now need to provide ?the rest of the story? on one that was.
Earlier this week, we reported that the 49ers had signed running back Frank Gore to a three-year extension with $21 million in new money and $13.5 million guaranteed.
Per a source with knowledge of the deal, the new money is actually $18.9 million, with the remaining $2.1 million tied to incentives that hinge upon Gore gained more than 1,600 yards rushing and receiving in 2012, 2013, and 2014.
Also, the deal gives Gore no new money this year.? Instead, $1 million in per-game roster bonuses has been shifted to Gore?s base salary.
Of the new money, $8.1 million is tied to Gore being on the active game-day roster, in 64-game increments.? If he?s on injured reserve or otherwise deactivated, he won?t earn the corresponding bonus.
Also, the guaranteed money is $12.5 million, but the guarantee is for injury only.? Thus, Gore can be cut at any time based on actual or perceived reduction in their skill.
There?s an easy solution to the disconnect between the information that initially comes out regarding a contract and the truth that emerges later, and largely is ignored.? Moving forward, when we report the first details of a contract signed by a player, we?re going to treat it like the initial stopwatch reading of a guy?s 40-yard dash, and we?re going to call the numbers unconfirmed.
