The San Francisco 49ers are shopping LaMichael James in trade scenarios.

“He wants to play,” said a source.

James was a 2012 second round pick out of Oregon.

James collected just 39 carries in his first two seasons.

The 49ers’ loaded backfield during James’ career has included Frank Gore and Kendall Hunter. The 49ers also figure to work in Marcus Lattimore, who didn't play last season while rehabbing from a serious knee injury in college.
