What free agents did the 49ers and the Chiefs signed to help them get to the Super Bowl?

Not really...they will always be the team to beat for many years to come. We, on the other hand, have a very small window.

Which is closed if we yet again draft more CBs, WRs, and TE's early in the draft.

This last playoff loss was caused by drafting an unneeded TE, a thug CB, and a dummy DE in the 2nd round in the last 3 drafts. Those picks should've been used on DT's and LB's.

The Cowboys tried to fill the dtacke and linebacker holes through the draft, but that failed. Thanks for the info on their free agents.

Until Mazi, the Cowboys had not used a 1st round pick on a DT since 1991. They used a 2nd on Hill, which was a wasted pick, and a 3rd on Gallimore and Odighizuwa. I just do not believe that they have made the position a high priority. at least not the priority is deserves.

And then add in the trades for McCaffrey and Trent Williams.

Both teams also signed backup types.

I am still roaring internally that the OP thought this thread was going to go any other way. You could have googled it but they decided to do this and make it seem like "well they didnt really do it so why are our fans so silly"

Starting to think this poster might be in the FO or Fisher. And we should be privledged to be Cowboys fans. LOL

We should also be drafting oline and dline high every year. We also knew we needed LB help and we didn't do jack about it.

When has anybody? Trading for Amari Cooper was a big move.

And a very stupid one as we had to immediately pay him a fortune, and he was not what was needed to get us over the top. We'd have been much better off letting that season play out and taking the higher draft picks.

Part of the problem with the question is the Chiefs and 9ers were both in the conference championship games lasted year, and the chiefs won the SB. They did not need to get any better than they were, they just needed to sustain to be successful. Those two teams have been going to conference championships and SBs for the last 6-7 years, so to answer that genuinely you have to look at who they picked up at the beginning of their runs and then also throughout. All are contributing, even the guys no longer on the teams instilled a culture and opened the door for their future FA replacements.

So it is Chavarious Ward and Javon Hargrave and Orlando Brown and Jawaan Taylor and Justin Reid, but it’s also Frank Clark and Tyrann Mathieu and Richard Sherman and Christian McCaffrey and Trent Williams.

Chiefs added Donovan Smith, Jawaan Taylor, who are their starting OTs. They also added Dru Tranquill on a cheap one year deal and he was really good for them at LB. He might be a guy we might want to look at it if not extended by KC.

Hargrave was the big splash signing for the 49ers, and he was great again for them.

That is what I thought. Both the 49ers and the Chiefs hit on some big 7th rounders.

Ah, found someone to agree w/ you and jumped on it, I see!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's what else you should think. The lists provided to you clearly show that both teams have been quite adept at adding key FAs. We have failed miserably in this.

Not sure what you wanted in this thread, but it has been unequivocally proven to you that both super bowl teams added key FAs to get to the super bowl, and neither would be here w/o those FAs.

Man, you just can't leave out SF signing Chardarius Ward and Tashaun Gipson, not to mention Jake Brendel, Matt Prior, and Jon Feliciano.

Hey, I have no idea how they played, might've all gotten hurt. But, what I do know is that they are quality players in key positions.
