All Pro Bowlers not with their original teams. I am sure I missed several more.

I am not saying we need to go crazy on a spending spree but anyone who says you can't sign impact free agents is looking at things from a slanted point of view.

You have to be smart. No K. Bell's or N. Harris types but add a couple smart FA or trade players.

Peppers has been with the Panthers his whole career.

How many of those players have huge contracts? Of the ones who don't, were they expected to be pro bowl type players at the time, or were the considered washed up?

That is exactly what people like Hamas and mecca are saying.

They aren't saying that we should completely eschew free agency.

They are saying we need to be smart about the players that we persue, which is why they are both un the camp that endorses the idea of persuing Suggs should he actually hit the market.

Funny thing is none of them are one of the 3 teams that have the best shot at winning the Super Bowl (Giants, Steelers, Colts)

Warner was probably the only player that was considered potentially washed up at the time he signed with the Cards.

And, although he started out through the first half of the season looking like an MVP type player, his play has steadily declined over the last 4-5 games.

8-8 is a step between 2-14 and 13-3.

Rather than snipe at me Mr. Banyon, post your ideas.

Your right. I always get him mixed up with J Kearse and I have no idea why.

So I looked up more I didn't have earlier.


T. Jones.

M.Sellars ( A stretch as he only played 1 year with Clevland before going back to Washington. He also is FB but I feel letting T-Rich go was mistake.T-Rich has also been a FA Pro bowler after leaving KC in 2008)

I likely missed another 1 or 2.

If you are so sure who is going to win the SB you better run to Vegas.

I really like Bryant. It just depends on the type of HC we bring in.

I also 100% disagree you have to make a free agent the highest paid player in the league. You just have to offer him more than anyone else. Terrell Suggs is not going to become the highest paid NFL player in free agency.

It might be nice to know what system is going to be run
before you start plugging holes
-If this hasn't already been covered -I'd be surprised

This year we went for bargain basement free agents who were castoffs from very poor teams. IMO the bulk of your talent has to come from your draft. Since many of our draft picks have yet to mature or have been busts, we need to find a niche in the mid-level FA market. KC is never going to attract the top level FAs because the money is not there, nor is the media coverage. We should be looking to shore up positions of need with solid players not marginal players like Tavares Washington, Pat Thomas or Brian De La Puente or the other rejects who didn't even make the team.

We should never have let Jared Allen get away.

KC could attract top tier FAs - depends on who, how much, and what the GM's vision is for building the franchise. There's no one-size-fits-all situation.

Peppers, Haynesworth, Suggs would all look better in red and gold.

Haven't you heard, this team is going from 2-14 straight to the SB. Just as soon as we get "fresh blood" at GM and HC.
