    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Bolts acquire Manumaleuna from RamsApril 30, 2006SAN DIEGO (AP) -- The Chargers obtained tight end Brandon Manumaleuna from the St. Louis Rams on Sunday in exchange for San Diego's fourth-round draft pick.Manumaleuna started 14 games in 2005. He was used primarily as a blocker, but caught 13 passes for 129 yards and a touchdown. He's also lined up at fullback and H-back during his career.Manumaleuna joined the Rams as a fourth-round draft pick in 2001 out of Arizona. He's been a starter since 2002.St. Louis chose Indiana defensive end Victor Adeyanju with the fourth-round pick.</div>http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=AmUF...ov=ap&type=lgnsI like the trade. Makes room for Klopfenstein and Byrd to battle it out for the #1 and 2 TE jobs. I didn't think Manumaleuna would be worth that much.

    Yeah, pretty good move for STL.Not sure why the Chargers would want Manumalenuna though...I guess as a backup to Gates.

    I dont think he is a good backup for Gates at all because he wasnt good for the Rams.

    He's a good blocker. And Gates isn't really known for his blocking, so they'll probably just use him in 3rd and short/goalline situations. Hell if I know though.
