No offense but this argument always makes me laugh. Look at a few of the names we signed in recent offseasons.....

Ty Law
Johnnie Morton
Shawn Barber
Kendrell Bell
Vonnie Holliday
etc.

Now I KNOW these all sucked when they got here. But they were BIG signings at the time. KC was one of the most active teams signing FAs during a few recent offseasons. It didn't work. That's for damn sure. But they tried.

Final disclaimer: I am not defending CP in any way shape or form, but this sort of selective memory is annoying.

Proving that the key to free agent signing is usually (not always, but usually) to sign a guy coming off his FIRST NFL contract, and avoid guys that have already played out 2 or 3 contracts.

Even though it's the most productive way, it's also the most expensive. The #2 NFL contract that players sign is usually the top dollar one as they've established themselves as real NFL players, but are still young and ascending.

IMO that's why Carl has avoided by and large this type of Free Agent, (the 2nd contract guys) as they're the most expensive, and as we all know King Carl is a penny pincher.
