"I will, I will," Gore told Watney. "Probably in a couple months. We're still trying to figure out when I'm going to do my one-day contract to sign and do my retirement. I've told Jed York I've always wanted to be a Niner, so we're working on that right now.
"Then we're also going to sit down with me and my agent and talk about me working in the front office. I love looking at talent and evaluating talent and I love ball. They know that I know football players, what it takes to be a football player."
