I actually posted
a positive perspective on the Chiefs offseason a few days in. But that positivity was contingent on several things happening that... simply haven't happened.
I know it's en vogue on football websites to say that Super Bowls aren't won in free agency.
But they are. Super Bowls are won in free agency.
We won our Super Bowl by trading for Clark and signing Badger, which pushed us over the top.
The Bucs won theirs by having one of the Top 3 free agency offseasons in NFL history.
Great, Super Bowl caliber NFL seasons almost always follow great offseasons. (Edit: I actually think our offseason in 2020 was outstanding, from free agency, cap management, the draft, and our incredible UDFA haul.)
We've got a ways to go. Because I don't think any of us would have marked down "failing to address three massive roster concerns, as well as several other minor ones" up to this point as anything other than a disappointment.
