Chiefs don't impress FA's...?
 

So I'm listening to the radio on the way home and some guy calls in and said the Chiefs don't do things like send a jet to pick up a potential FA and such. I thought well, that's a possibilty then I hear Carr tweeted that what impressed him about Dallas was the sent a jet to get him with a big fat Dallas Cowboys star on the plane.

Makes me really wonder what kind of red carpet we do or don't roll out for these people?

We're the Motel 8 of the NFL.

Except we don't leave the light on for 'em.

Hey Pete.

I kinda wonder. I mean Winston is in town today. Did we even flip for the price of a 1st class ticket? I'd hope we at least sent a car to pick him up and I am sure we did that much....or I'd like to be.

we're the Salvation Army of the NFL

I guess they're not "Leaders in the clubhouse" for FAs
What ever the **** that means

It's Polio's way of finding out whether you are committed to winning or not.

I don't know about us, but it sounds like Carr is easily impressed. It's a plane with some blue paint in the shape of a star on it.

I am sure he was more impressed with a contract that said 5 yr, 50.1M

We show them our Super Bowl IV trophy.

We leave it on for Peyton Hillis, Mike Brown, Zach Thomas, Bobby Engram etc.

I don't know, all I can say is what he tweeted. But things like that do matter and shows the class of the organization. I don't think it would kill Clarkie Boy to send his jet to pick up someone we really are interested in. It shows you are interested. And ok, say you flip for a 1st class ticket. What's the other team doing? How bad do you want to sign someone like Winston? Is he worth a plane ticket or a ride in your personal jet?

Recall that Carr was a fifth-round pick, so he probably didn't get a whole lot of attention lavished on him when he was drafted, or as he was working his way up the ladder with the Chiefs. And since he didn't play at a big school, he probably didn't get wined and dined as a high school kid, either. This is probably the first time he's ever been given the red carpet treatment, so I can see how it would be quite flattering.

For guys like Manning who was the #1 pick in the draft, it's probably not a big deal. For guys like Carr, it is.

We simply need to focus on FA players who appreciate the aesthetics of clean stairwells...

They got that reputation of being cheap is why
