Forget, that upon closer inspection the Chiefs’ record in free agency is quite good. Indeed, the team would likely rank among the NFL’s top ten in successful free agent acquisitions. Marcus Allen, James Hasty, and Priest Holmes, for example, were Pro Bowlers after joining the Chiefs in unrestricted free agency.

What are you going to tell us next, "Rufus", that we're not true fans unless we're season ticket holders. As a collective fan base, we know the Chiefs are in the bottom 5 of the league in evaluating, drafting, and developing 1st day talent. That's why so much emphasis and hope is placed in free agency. Without our success at it, we'd be the Arizona Cardinals. Come to think of it, they've played in the same number of playoff games as we have since '98.
