The 49ers are dangling running back Anthony Dixon as trade bait, according to NFL.com. Dixon's main role is on special teams, but he also has served as an effective short-yardage runner this season, scoring two touchdowns. Source: Matt Barrows/Sacramento Bee Walnuts's Take: I'm not sure what they could get of value in return for Dixon, but he's definitely expendable and would potentially open up a spot for James.
Solid special teams player. Could be servicable as a RB or FB in the right system. Would be sad to see Boobie go, but they have to make room somehow
Normally i would say they can't get crap for Dixon, but the way the 49ers front office has been raping other teams in trades, they will probably get a first rounder for him
