Gas on the Fire: Shutdown Corner Gives Chiefs "F" in FA. (https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=282806)

What did the packers get this year? Last year?

We are following their formula, so if they got a higher grade then this writer can **** right off.

This is a brand new discussion.

Course even if we did get that we fickle-ass fans would find some goofy reason to run him out of town in 5 years.

Best chance we probably have left is that someone already on the roster breaks out. No clue who that might be, of course...

AJ Jenkins.
3rd season.

Nope. They won't be enough. n00b WRs can take a little bit to acclimate to the league, and the Chiefs' schedule is going to be unforgiving.

Tough to read the Smith trade now as much more than a directive to put asses in the seats.

BINGO. After the defensive meltdown of the last half of the season to not make a move is unforgivable.

So the only winning move is to not play?

Maybe it's small consolation, but I think the term addition by subtraction, really does apply here. The biggest culprits of the meltdown are all gone.

But, its hard to argue this was a successful FA period, even though I think Walker will be better than Jackson.

Yep, but this should be a complementary move, not the centerpiece.

The irony is that signing Sanders would have taken a decent amount of sting out of things, and getting D. Jackson would have been a HR.

I give myself a $/CHunt

I agree. That was bad. I don't think Sanders had any intention of signing here. Chiefs got used.

They don't believe in last season's success or think it is sustainable

We lost Albert, who we all knew we'd lose for the last 2 years, and some guys we won't miss. I don't get all the bitching about this, I really don't.

We didn't sign big name free agents? For every Brees there's 500 Deion Branch's. Free agency is fools gold, but it is fun to bitch.

Why?

One position that I had hoped that the Chiefs would address through free agency is at safety. I liked the re-signing of Husain Abdullah and hopefully Sanders Commings will be able to be a good safety but that position was such a vulnerability, you would think it would have top priority for KC.

In free agency we have had a safety musical chairs game with players going back a forth in the NFL.
