Was it a big spending year like '05? No. But it's not like they didn't sign anyone.
People just pretend those signings didn't happen because the players all ended up sucking.

I view a trade as way different from signing your own free agents, especially when said trade cost you a first -day draft pick and then an other early-mid-rounder. But, if you mean that the Chiefs did make an attempt to upgrade the team by adding a player who was not on the roster the year before, then I see your point. But IMHO, Welbourn is not near as good as Tait was.
