Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't see how a ton of Jamon Merediths help this team's future. I'm not against stop-gap salary casualties either, but we already have Thomas Jones

I agree. I'd also like to see some research that supports the idea that teams are built off of free free agency and waiver wire pickups. Do people really think the front office is too cheap because we're not picking up an $850,000 1-year contract waiver wire guy?

99% chance a waiver wire guy will never be anything more than a 1-year contributor or roster bubble guy. We can bitch all we want about payroll, but the reason the Chiefs lose is not because they're cheap, but because they haven't drafted well in years.
