Did I miss something where we were supposed to cash front load contracts to ****ing guys who haven't been on the ****ing field in two years like Demarcus Ware so I can say that we are at least doing something like pissing away money on brokedick mediocrity so our fervently adversarial fan base can say we did something during one lousy ****ing free agency period?! So that we can believe that the Super Bowl victory that we deserve is going to be this next season?! All we needed to do was to make sure we signed that one ****ing journeyman guard and a broke dick safety and we would have been well on our way!

MOTHER **** YOU CLARK HUNT FOR LETTING THAT GUARD WALK WITHOUT OVERPAYING FOR HIM!!!!!!

Calm down, cupcake.

You're severely overstating things (and severely overreacting). Come on, man. You're better than that. Wanting the Chiefs to be more aggressive with signing bonuses and manipulating the cap is not the same as wanting to severely overpay and take a Daniel Snider approach.

People are upset because a team that NEEDED to get better to build on 2013 has not added talent. It has watched some talent walk, while other talent ages another year (which matters a lot with guys like Johnson, Hali, Flowers - and even Jamaal Charles), and is relying entirely on the draft and bottom barrel FA to create the talent upgrades. Oh, and internal broke dicks like Kelce and Commings, who might hit but should not be counted on yet due to injury situations ... and the fact that neither has done squat in an NFL uniform.

The individual talent losses are not enormous or hugely significant on their own (though it's asking a lot to ask Eric Fisher to play like a top 10 LT next year, considering what we've seen so far). It's more the combination of those losses with sitting still.

This is a Chiefs team that was LUCKY to get to 11 wins and make the playoffs last year. Facing a huge string of worthless backup QBs... and going 0-6 against teams that had a QB with a pulse. To continue having success and taking advantage of this core group of players, they needed to add talent around the core group of players. Instead, they've subtracted.

They need upgrades at several spots - notably a playmaking WR/TE and a good FS - to make that happen.

When that playmaking WR/TE practically falls in KC's lap, and a guy who still is young and in his prime, and they don't take advantage of it because "CAP" ... how can you be surprised that people are disappointed and upset?

When several solid Ss who would be big improvements cycle through the FA cycle and the Chiefs don't sniff one of them (apparently planning to either start Sanders Commings or find that FS in the draft - which, by the way, is a very weak safety draft)... how can you be surprised that people are disappointed and upset?
