CSN Bay Area believes the 49ers could approach Frank Gore about taking a pay cut. Beat writer Matt Maiocco isn't reporting that Gore's roster spot is in danger, but believes the team might explore ways to reduce his non-guaranteed, $6.45 million salary. One way that could be accomplished is by turning some of Gore's 2014 salary into a bonus, and adding a voidable year(s) to his deal. However, that would just be a restructure, not a cut. Going on 31, Gore is likely realistic about his future. Running backs are a year-to-year proposition after they turn 30.
