Exactly.
Sometimes you get lucky and someone like Jerry Hughes falls into your lap. The Bills got themselves a minor miracle when the Colts cut a young veteran loose that fit their system perfectly and came cheap.
But that doesn't happen very often. More often than not you either sign a JAG that doesn't help you or you overpay for an import that doesn't help you nearly as much as his pricetag suggests he should because there's a learning curve (and he might be an asshole).
Hali just made too much sense. You know who he is and he knows how to play here.
That said, when Dwight Freeney was out there to be had cheap, I don't know why we didn't kick the tires there. He'd have been a fantastic rotational option for us, IMO. I just wonder if the Chiefs are trying a bit too hard to hold onto some of these more limited players like Zombo and Moses (or maybe they've invested a little too heavily in young LB depth with Alexander, Nicolas, March and Wilson all in a 2 year span).
