Frank Gore is back for more in 2019. The NFL's oldest active running back, who turns 36 in May, agreed to a one-year, $2 million contract with the Buffalo Bills on Monday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Gore, who rushed for 722 yards with the Miami Dolphins in 2018, needs 252 yards to become the fourth player in NFL history with 15,000 rushing yards. He needs 522 to pass Barry Sanders for third place all time. Gore joins a Buffalo backfield that already includes veterans LeSean McCoy and Chris Ivory, who are both turning 31 this offseason.

A five-time Pro Bowl selection and nine-time 1,000-yard rusher, Gore has rushed for 14,748 yards and 77 touchdowns in 210 games with the San Francisco 49ers (2005-14), Indianapolis Colts (2015-17) and Dolphins. Gore, a third-round pick out of Miami in 2005, also has 455 career receptions for 3,796 yards and 18 scores.
