The Facts:
The Chiefs announced Monday the acquisition of A.J. Jenkins from the 49ers in exchange for similarly disappointing wide receiver Jon Baldwin.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
This is a rare one-for-one NFL talent swap of players who failed to live up to expectations. As NFL.com's Gregg Rosenthal wrote, it's amazing how far Jenkins fell in San Francisco in such a short time. There were open questions about whether or not last year's first-round pick was even going to make the roster. Seeing the Chiefs give up on Baldwin is even more surprising. The 49ers desperately need a vertical threat, and that's Baldwin's skill set. But as Rosenthal stressed, "let's not make this trade into more than it is. It's a swap of busts. It would be a surprise if either player made a big impact on their new team."
