If anything was made clear by the Arizona Cardinals' injury-plagued 2014 campaign, it's that Bruce Arians can coach anyone.
Looking to add depth after those injuries, two llamas caught the eye of the Arizona Cardinals after juking past would-be pursuers. The speed out of their cuts was impressive.
The #AZCardinals have agreed to one-year deals with the #llamasontheloose. Each llama will earn 2,340 lbs of hay. Steve Keim does it again.

There's not word as to how much hay was guaranteed or if a signing bonus was involed and Fantasy Football projections are believed to be outrageously high. Soon after that announcement was made, the llamas peaked the interest of other franchises.
.@AZCardinals would you guys be interested in a trade deal? Let's talk. #llamaontheloose

@Colts @AZCardinals Nobody is off limits if llamas are on the trading block. #llamasontheloose

A new era has arrived in the NFL. Only time will tell if it lasts longer than the Wildcat offense.
