The problem with our free agent signings in the past is that we've always gone after guys at the end of their careers, or that have had injury issues that allowed us to sign them on teh cheap.
Free agency is another tool, along with the draft, that can be used to build a team.
I wouldn't want Gaither because of his injury history and work ethic, but if the Falcons let Tyson Clabo hit the free agent market, I'd use the resourses at my disposal to make him a Chief.
