A person familiar with the negotiations tells The Associated Press that NFL active rushing leader Frank Gore has agreed to terms with the Miami Dolphins.
The person confirmed the agreement to the AP on condition of anonymity Thursday because the deal won't be final until Gore passes a physical.
The durable Gore would provide depth at running back behind Kenyan Drake, who became a starter last year and averaged 4.8 yards per carry.
Gore, who turns 35 next month, grew up in South Florida and played for the Miami Hurricanes. He has rushed for 14,026 yards in his NFL career, including 961 last year for the Indianapolis Colts, and ranks fifth on the all-time list.
Gore also played for the San Francisco 49ers and has started every game since 2011.
