Free agency is typically a trap of bad contracts with hoards of dead money waiting for teams in the near future. But every now and then, a general manager finds gold.

The Kansas City Chiefs have also used free agency as a boon to their dynasty, with signings including Tyrann Mathieu, Mitchell Schwartz and Justin Reid.
