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.

Dude. Seriously. My position is based on the fact that Arenas is not any good. He might have been the second best corner that we had on the roster last year. That's like being the 2nd best cornerback on ChiefsPlanet. Again...HORRID footwork, soft on the jam and terrible instincts in both man and zone coverage.

All this hand wringing over Arenas is laughable.

That's where the argument ends. He was going to be cut. We salvaged what we could from him.

We do not. We have two. It remains to be seen if Dunta can make that three. Arenas should have been on our roster, or traded for equivalent value. He now is not, and was not. |

First, they have two, not one, and another one that can play but has been moved to safety. Second, it's been a problem for the Patriots for years, which is part of the reason I understand how important CB depth is.

You don't think him and his agent was bitching to Dorsey about aquiring 2 new CBs and im guessing he demanded to be traded or cut

I mean I could understand the freakout if we had just traded a guy like Allen Bailey for a backup kicker or something...but this is hilarious.

Chiefs trade Arenas to Cardinals for fullback Anthony Sherman
By ADAM TEICHER The Kansas City Star Cornerback Javier Arenas occupies a unique place in Chiefs history. He’s the player the Chiefs selected with the 2010 second-round NFL Draft pick they acquired from Atlanta by trading tight end Tony Gonzalez. Wednesday’s trade that sent Arenas to the Arizona Cardinals in return for fullback Anthony Sherman guarantees the Gonzalez deal will be Arenas’ legacy. Arenas played four seasons for the Chiefs, or not as many as Gonzalez has played for the Falcons. He was their nickel back and punt returner for much of that time, but Arenas had little impact in either area. He became a starter along with Brandon Flowers midway through last season but was crowded out of any realistic shot at playing time in 2013 by the Chiefs’ recent free-agent signings of veteran cornerbacks Dunta Robinson and Sean Smith. The Chiefs meanwhile now have a crowd at fullback. Patrick DiMarco, last year’s regular, returns. The Chiefs also selected Braden Wilson of Kansas State in the sixth round of the draft last week. The 5-feet-10, 242-pound Sherman was drafted from Connecticut by the Cardinals in the fifth round in 2011. He started 11 games for Arizona in two seasons, but was mostly a blocker and special teams player. He had just one rushing attempt and caught 13 passes. The Chiefs also announced the 13 players they signed as undrafted rookie free agents: • QB Tyler Bray, Tennessee: Bray (6-6, 232) threw for 7,444 yards and 69 touchdowns for the Vols. • LB Darin Drakeford, Maryland: Drakeford (6-1, 240) started only games over his career at Maryland. • DB Otha Foster, West Alabama: Foster (6-0, 204) played two seasons in junior college before transferring • WR Frankie Hammond Jr., Florida: Hammond (6-1, 184) caught 63 passes for the Gators. • TE Demitrius Harris, Wisconsin-Milwaukee: Harris (6-7, 230) originally signed to play football at Arkansas State but wound up playing basketball in college. • G A.J. Hawkins, Mississippi: Hawkins (6-1, 310) played right guard and center for the Rebels. • OL Colin Kelly, Oregon State: Kelly (6-5, 298) started 25 games in college. • DE Rob Lohr, Vanderbilt: Lohr (6-4, 290) had 11 sacks for the Commodores. • DL Brad Madison, Missouri: Madison (6-4, 265) had 16 sacks for the Tigers. • LB/DE Josh Martin, Columbia: Martin (6-3, 245) is the second Ivy League rookie for the Chiefs, joining seventh-round draft pick Mike Catapano. • S Brad McDougald, Kansas: McDougald (6-1, 209) played on both sides of the ball for the Jayhawks. • WR Rico Richardson, Jackson State: Richardson (6-1, 185) caught 130 passes in college. • LB/DE Ridge Wilson, West Alabama: Wilson (6-4, 256) played in 32 games in college. The Chiefs will have several more undrafted free-agent players participating in next weekend’s rookie minicamp on a tryout basis, without a contract, including former Kansas quarterback Dayne Crist.

This deal does not really matter. JA or whoever this FB is would very likley not be on our roster. That is not the point.
I'm tired of front office doing stupid deals that make no sense. |
