But outside of those two, there's been virtually nothing to get excited about. It's as if the problems with the offensive line, wide receivers and linebacking corp didn't exist. Sure, Mays looks to be fine addition but he was initially added as a backup to of all people, 37 year-old Zach Thomas.
It's as if they lay all the blame on coaching, believing that the talent on the roster was sufficient. Just like someone else who said the roster was "85% there".
It's rather shocking to most people that closely follow the Chiefs, isn't it?

Apparently, not everyone had your take. Here are just a couple of examples......

Expects something similar, it sounds.

If Pioli and company repeat the Patriots model, you can look for the team to be flooded with veterans, especially those with the right mentality....I wouldn't be surprised to see the Chiefs and the Broncos in competition for those types of players this offseason.

Cassel

Brown
Engram

And those are just the veterans that made the team. This was talked at least as far back as February.
