Right and that's the only reason they entertain the idea; if theyre looking to next years roster. They could move him for a late rounder but he more value to us THIS YEAR more than a 7th rounder. Sure if someone calls and offers a fifth, then yes, you take that into account and you most likely deal. But as someone else mentioned, theres other positions that can be cut from the team first.

I hope Dixon isn't traded, he's a team player, doesn't complain, produces when he gets opportunities, etc. If anything, trade K. Williams for a bag of of potatoes... at least you could turn those into french fries.

I would settle for potato seeds when I haven't eaten in two weeks.
Never thought I would say that. I think that's the meanest Ive ever been to a Niner player, lol

oh you can best believe them two dudes will be cut
I just can't believe Nnamdi has declined so much! Maybe we can trade him to Dallas. I know Jones had a man crush on him during free agency and they just made Calvin Johnson another $100 mil. They definitely need help.

Boobie is a good special teams player, can return kicks, and is a good #3 running back... MOST IMPORTANTLY he is a locker room guy and he is dependeble. Above all else he is a pure football player, was born to play the game. I'm not saying we have to keep him but I think he may have some trade value on a team like the Giants who have bought Hillis and Jacobs off the streets. With a guy like Dixon you don't have to waste a roster spot because he can do multiple things and he can give you decent production in the run game. Maybe a 4th+Dixon=Nicks???

This is what I would be concerned with.
We have traded enough players but this one might have some negative impact on team unity.
If we did trade him I don't see what getting a 6th or 7th would do for us. The value he brings to the locker room far outweighs that.

I think people need to realize that Dixon is short for this team.
Don't get me wrong, I like the guy...but Kyle Williams may have just made it necessary to put LMJ on the active roster. That gives you 4 HBs. Even if you are OK with that, you have Lattimore possibly coming back late this year or more likely next. They don't need 5 running backs.
Dixon is a huge personality and a player with a lot of versatility, but if you can get something for him now when you are likely going to cut him next year anyway....do it. I like the guy, but this is the kind of stuff good teams do.

Boobie is a team player and gives it everything he has. If he stays let him return kicks, he can't be worse than KW.
