Report: 49ers willing to trade Kwon Alexander, Dee Ford

The San Francisco 49ers are reportedly willing to move two members of their defense who were only acquired last year.

According to Michael Lombardi of The Athletic, the 49ers are willing to listen to offers for linebacker Kwon Alexander and defensive lineman Dee Ford in a bid to clear up some cap issues.

While it’s not a shock that the Niners are looking to deal with cap issues, these two names are somewhat surprising. Both were acquired a year ago and played important roles for the NFC Champions. Ford had 6.5 sacks, while Alexander had 34 tackles through eight games before injuries took a toll.

Alexander signed a pretty big deal with San Francisco, and has three years left on his contract. It will be interesting to see what the price actually is.
