We need to start thinking like the Patriots do.

This is entirely correct with the caveat that such practices almost demand that you have at least one Super Bowl under your belt to successfully implement them.
I don't have to tell you that players are cutting deals with BB under the assumption that their chances of competing in and winning a championship are far greater playing with NE than taking high dollar contracts in Detroit and Tampa Bay.
And in fact, certain FA's might deem their value even greater than market if they feel that their services may be key in getting the Chiefs "over the hump", so to speak. But again, I contend that what the Chiefs need are solid players with experience and discipline who won't LOSE a game for you, and whom you augment with whatever high-caliber players you can draft and develop as well as FA's who are amenable to working with your cap situation in exchange for the chance to compete on an ascending team.
