I think for most FA's, it really is about getting paid. I'm sure there are a few who want to go to a team that has a winning culture and shot to win. For the latter, I don't think the Chiefs have displayed a consisting winning environment to attract the top-tier FAs. Though, the top tier FAs typically cost so much money, it might hamstring a team that's trying to build.

I would bet that about 90 to 95% of the players are all about SHOW ME THE MONEY. But I also bet that 60% of those same players would pick marquee franchises for slightly less money because of two reasons. Most of the marquee franchises are consistently in the playoffs so there is always a chance for post season success. The second has to be the marketability of a player in that area to make more money from advertisement contracts.

I guess it's the player's call. Just seems to me that if I were a free agent and got an 8mil offer from a San Fran/GB/Pats/Seattle type team and 10mil from a Browns/Raiders type I'm not sure which I'd pick. And where KC falls in that continuum since the changes.

Money talks.
However, if money is the same, it probably comes down to situation. |

Dont forget Andy Reid was a huge part of the dream team in Philadelphia a couple seasons ago. Didn't work out for him but he does know how to get the top FAs.

Every player wants something different. There really isn't a set of rules for it.

I would think--assuming most other things like $ are somewhat equal--Andy Reid, 11-5 record+playoffs, and a QB not named Cassel have got to at least make KC seem a whole lot more attractive than the past few years.

With Pioli this was the equivelant of being shipped off to Siberia, but with this current group it should be considered Club Med.
