Chiefs trade (Arenas) for...wait for it...a FB?
 

Chiefs acquired FB Anthony Sherman from the Chiefs...er Cardinals.
New Cards head coach Bruce Arians has no room for plodding fullbacks in his aggressive, vertical offense. So Sherman heads to Andy Reid's West Coast scheme as Jamaal Charles' lead blocker. The 2011 fifth-rounder graded out 20th among 25 qualifying fullbacks in Pro Football Focus' rankings last season. May 1 - 12:11 PM

WTF?

Awesome. We acquired a FB from ourselves. That should cost us nothing, right?

LOL, didn't even see they typo on rotoworld. acquired from arizona

We are so cool we trade with ourselves

Welp, theres certainly no shortage of fullbacks on the roster... who will be the Chiefs Jon Ritchie?

We exchanged several draft picks with ourselves for him.

And still somehow lost picks in the deal.

Knowing the Chiefs, they likely still had to give up a draft pick....

And still got ****ed

This place is gonna explode when they found out we gave up a 2nd for him

According to PFF, he's the Branden Albert of fullbacks

You don't make a SuperBowl team through full backs lol.

The Chiefs don't make a Superbowl team through anything, so why not have more fullbacks to help them to an 8-8 record?

"STs Captain in just his 2nd year"

Isn't that 5 Full backs on the roster?

Must be running the double wishbone

better not be more than a 6th

Meh, we'll just trade Albert to recoup it/ chiefsmath

LOL christ

Andy Reid loves fullback and runningout of I formation. ASurprising seeing how he doesn't run the ball much. Leonard weaver was a pro bowler under his watch.

I don't know anything about this guy. But iI doubt anyone on the roster last year will be competing for a roster spot at fullback. I bet it's Braden Wilson's job to lose. He is basically the same player as Owen Schmitt, who I believe played about 20 percent of snaps for the iggles last year.

There ya go.

If this player is a request from Dave Toub, I have no problem with it provided it wasn't anything more than a 6th rounder. I'm putting my trust in that guy. He's a ****ing genius when it comes to special teams.

Good point. Could be a ST move

Also can we change the thread title. It doesn't sound like this was a trade

Rumor is that we may have given them Javier arenas. Wtf

LOL IF WE GAVE THEM JAVIER ARENAS I WILL ****ING PISS

Two Tight End sets. Two Fullbacks with Charles in a Power wing formation. Hut hut, ball is snapped..handed to Jamal.. right up Hudsons ass for a gain of 2.2yds.

THAT is too goddamn expensive :banghead:

So will the Arrowhead announcer

that's gotta be a joke. i refuse to believe that

We could have used that on first and goal VS. Baltimore last year....

Wait, I thought CP hated Arenas

Marv Levy approves of this.

Seriously?

I don't remember. I just deleted last year from my memory. It never happened.

Well wasn't he a second round pick? It makes perfect sense!

Anything more than a 1st and a 3rd and I will turn against Reid and Dorsey.

I don't. He's OK at nickel. And the fact remains that we have a whole lot of not a damn thing at CB.

As a starting CB, and also as a player that we drafted in the 2nd round when some really incredible talent was still available.

But since we got him on the roster, he serves a purpose as CB depth, which is way more valuable than having ANOTHER goddamn FB on this freakin' roster.

it better be Jalil Brown, not Arenas.

uhh when he slid into CB2 last year for Stanford Routt he played a lot ****ing better than what all you Stanford Routt homers expected out of Routt himself.

he's just slow and cant return kicks or punts

I will flip my ****ing shit.

Arenas is actually a Top 10 punt returner, is he not?

And you're dead-right about him excelling as a starting corner last year.

Don't really care about trading for a fullback and special teams ace. A better fit for Reid than Braden Wilson, who can block but can't catch or run.

But if true, it makes the Braden Wilson pick in the 6th a complete waste.

he's not terrible at returns ... he's just not going to break one for 40.

He'll get you the 15 or whatever


our blocking on ST sucked ass

FB for decent Nickel? Par for the course.

the team that couldn't manage to trade a starting LT has traded for a fb?


i'll assume this is a joke

Please tell me we didn't give up Arenas.

@caplannfl: Chiefs HC Andy Reid uses a FB in his version of the WCO. Sherman was a fifth-round pick in 2011. (cont) http://t.co/hq9qJdiCIv

Seriously mystified here...

Arenas sucks. We can find someone as good for depth.

We will have traded Tony Gonzales for a FB. Awesome.

Arenas is worth way more than some slapdick FB

FB plus pick perhaps?

In a passing league we trade a corner for a fullback. Great.

caplann does say rumor cards asking for a CB, and perhaps arenas. well, perhaps its menzie, cause zona does NOT need a return man, and just drafted honey bitch to groom as NB. or maybe we get something back in return? trying to make this not so WTF in my head right now.

I'd be pretty shocked if it is anything other than a conditional draft pick.

Honey bitch is playing FS.

i hope to god its that smelly turd Jalil Brown

Yes. He was top 5 even I think. Always gets good yards on punt returns.

Ouch. Bad trade no matter what you gave up because there's no way you need five fullbacks on your roster, especially when so many teams have stopped carrying fullbacks at all.

.

I like arenas, but now we have flowers, Sean smith, Dunta, Daniels, Commings, and menzie. Some may compete at safety. Arenas is fairly expendable. Don't know who returns kicks but am confident toub weighed in on this.

In a passing league would you rather have an abundance of CBs or FBs?
Posted via Mobile Device

Arenas maybe expendable but you dont give him away for a ****ING FB. Especially when you already bringing 4 FBs into camp and just wasted a 6th round pick on one in the draft lol

Just because you have a surplus doesn't mean you give shit away. How are you related to Reid or Dorsey?

So if they just released him instead, you would have been happier?

I dont care how much you hate arenas. Hes a decent return guy and actually made some strides towards the end of last year. I just dont see the value in flipping him for a FB if this is true.

This answers everything......

.........an undisclosed "package"! What could that be? I hope it's no more than a box of donuts!<!--Comment () | -->

I HIGHLY doubt that was the only other option, but nice straw man.

Maybe they traded Albert. :facepalm:

Arenas was overdrafted ... he should have been a 5th round pick instead of a 2nd.

but now that he is on the team he brings value to the roster.

Hard-nosed football guy
low maintenance
no drama
relatively cheap
solid coverage guy as long as you don't put him on a burner
solid return guy who can get the consistent yards even though he won't break long ones much
imo he can probably play ANY position in the secondary in a pinch
can step in to block the gunner or whatever else you need

solid rank and file type guy ... don't know why we would flush him away instead of jalil brown etc


hopefully rumors are wrong because this would be the 2nd trade that Dorsey got ****ed in the short time since he's been a Chief.

Maybe it's for one of the NHL cupcake promotional packages

hmmm.... can't imagine we'd jettison Arenas at this point in the off season, unless he is injured. But, nothing surprises me.

Odd we JUST drafted a battering ram, only to pick up another one.

Expecting that we overpaid and got raped in this trade.

You can never have enough depth at FB.

OMAR EASY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chiefs fans will justify it.

I really don't get the Arenas and Brown hate. They are what they are. Arenas can be a serviceable nickel and Brown is pretty good gunner on special teams. Pioli is the dipshit you made them get on the field for defense, that's where the hate should go.

oh **** off, would you?

Wish we could get Kimble Anders reicarnate.

No need to be rude, just stating the truth.

WTF you talkin bout, Tony Richardson!
