Today marks the probable end of a memorable span for the 49ers ...

I'm not refering to coach Jim Harbaugh or to the end of their three year playoff run.

Today may be the last game running back Frank Gore plays for the 49ers.

Despite the success he’s had with the 49ers, it’s quite possible Gore’s 148th regular-season game Sunday against the Cardinals at Levi’s Stadium will be his last with the franchise that drafted him in the third round in 2005.

Wide receiver Anquan Boldin, who faced the 49ers and Gore 12 times before they became teammates last year, can’t envision Gore in a uniform that’s not red and gold.

Gore, after all, is the second-longest tenured member of the team behind punter Andy Lee. Gore’s 10 seasons with the 49ers match Hall of Fame defensive back Ronnie Lott, and he has taken 2,290 of the 3,202 handoffs the 49ers have given to a running back since becoming a starter in 2006.

But Gore understands the 49ers could decide to reduce his workload next season. In May, the 49ers traded up to draft promising Carlos Hyde with the No. 57 selection, the highest pick they’d used on a running back since 1992. In addition, running back Kendall Hunter will return next season from an ACL tear he suffered in training camp.

I hope they can find a way to keep him.
