The Chiefs have finalized their trade for a fullback the Cardinals didn’t need, by passing along a cornerback they didn’t need.

According to Kent Somers of the Arizona Republic, the Chiefs will be sending cornerback Javier Arenas to the desert in exchange for fullback Anthony Sherman.

The Cardinals don’t really have a need for a fullback, even one selected in the fifth round of the 2011 Draft, as new coach Bruce Arians has said recently “I’m not a fullback guy, I never have been.”

Arenas was a second-round pick in 2010, but the Chiefs added Sean Smith and Dunta Robinson this offseason to work with Brandon Flowers, so there wasn’t much room for him.
