Gore hopes to play in 2018: 'I don't want to finish like this'

Veteran running back Frank Gore's last game as a member of the Indianapolis Colts could come Sunday against the Houston Texans, but that doesn't mean the 34-year-old is ready to hang up his cleats.

The free-agent-to-be expressed his desire to return for a 14th season on Wednesday, but outlined a couple of requirements for him to do so.

"Quarterback, O-line, have to be my type of style of team," he told ESPN's Mike Wells. "Nasty, physical, punch you in the mouth. I don't want to finish like this. I know I can still play. I want to help a team."

Gore, who will earn $3.75 million this year, is all but guaranteed to finish with an average of less than four yards per carry for the third straight season, but has still exceeded expectations this year as a reliable three-down back for the last-place Colts. He's totaled 861 rushing yards and three touchdowns, fighting off 21-year-old backup Marlon Mack in the process.
