Is there a correlation between being active in FA and having success?
 

Frankie's thread got me thinking...as well as when a CP member actually said (Pre Jones signing) that this felt like Christmas Day...but going downstairs and finding no presents.

I thought the Christmas day \ FA comparison was silly.

But the truth is out there I suppose?

Is there really a correlation between being active in Free Agency and success in the legaue?

No it's not about being active it's about making the right move when the opportunity presents itself.

Agreed. But people seem to be really frustrated literally because we are not active.

When was the last time we were really active in the fa market?

I am a bit frusrated with all that money the Chiefs have really they could afford to sign a guy like Dansby which would go along way to fixing the defense. We already should have made an offer to Atogwae.

It was.....No .........uh.....Fugg if I know.

Who is consistently the most active team in Free Agency?

This isn't a trap I am not trying to prove a point. I really am interested to see if there is much a connection. My gut says there is not.

Gun's shopping list? :)

Define active? Signing the top tier free agents or just guys in general? It seems the Patriots sign guys every year, Washington, Denver.

Yea I guess it is tough to define isn't it?

People on here are often frustrated with our activity in FA but when I look at Denver? They seem to be very very active and they seem to get a whole lot of shit performances from players they were counting on.

The Chiefs sign free agents every year but they don't sign 1st or even 2nd tier guys so I haven't considered them active in free agency for 3 years now. The draft is the most important part but the reason why some people want the Chiefs to be more active is because there are so many holes on this team theres no way you can fill them all in 1 or 2 drafts.

I think it pisses fans off when the organization will say we will be active, and then we go out and do shit like re-signing Vrabel. Moves like that make people think that the Chiefs view on FA and the fans view's are 2 entirely different things. This team hasn't gone out and signed a big name 1-tier FA in God knows how long. It makes sense to do sometimes when you think you need that 1-2 players to get the team over the hump. At times when this team has been in that position, the front office fails to capitalize.

Ray Crocket, Neil Smith, Keith Traylor, Romo, Alfred Williams, Darrien Gordon, Ed McCaffery, Gary Zimmerman, Mark Schlereth, Tony Jones... I know there were more, but if Shanny doesn't bring those guys in no way does Denver win back to back SB's.

I have no doubt they are. Is that bad?

Without those signings you're probably cheering for another team. Douche.
