Chiefs trade CB Arenas to Cardinals

Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Javier Arenas was traded to the Arizona Cardinals for fullback Anthony Sherman pending results of their physicals this week.

Arenas, 25, is entering his fourth season and started nine games in 2012. He has two career interceptions in 47 games and can double as a punt returner behind Patrick Peterson.

Sherman gives head coach Andy Reid a versatile lead blocker in front of Jamaal Charles. The Chiefs' offense requires a fullback with receiving skills and Sherman, 24, was a fifth-round pick out of Connecticut where he had 48 career receptions in a run-first, power-formation system.
