Eagles left in limbo as veteran RB reconsiders his decision
It seemed that the Eagles had their new multi-purpose running back locked down about thirty-six hours ago, when it was reported that they had agreed to terms on a 3-year deal with Frank Gore. All of that has now been flipped on its head, as the new report from the NFL Network suggests that Frank Gore has notified the Eagles that he is considering alternate destinations. The Indianapolis Colts were immediately revealed as a team with top-tier interest in acquiring Gore. The Eagles, who were sure they had their replacement for LeSean Mccoy, are now left in scramble mode as Free Agency officially opens in less than 24 hours. This comes on the heels of a very bad publicity day for the team as a popular ESPN personality made earlier suggestions of a potentially racist "culture" that exists in the Eagles locker room, explaining the departures of players like LeSean Mccoy, DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin, and the retainment of Riley Cooper. Did this talk of a "racist culture" sway Frank Gore into signing with a different team? We'll probably never know.
