| | Kansas City Chiefs - DAWES: KC & UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENCY: An Accounting |
 | | Unrestricted free agency, as defined by the NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement 2002-2008, “means a Veteran who completes performance of his Player contract, and who is no longer subject to any exclusive negotiating rights, Right of First Refusal, or Draft Choice Compensation in favor of a Prior Club. |
 | | Unrestricted free agency has lost some of the luster it had way back in 1993 when it first came into play, at least in management circles. |
 | | The best journalism is the most efficient, but the media who continually promote the idea that the Chiefs have either been lax in mining the unrestricted free agent market or especially unsuccessful in their picks have seldom looked beneath the surface to determine the team’s record in unrestricted free agency. |
