I would agree with you if every free agent we signed was a success, but it does not work like that.

For every team you point to that has won by signing free agents I can point to a team that has fail miserably by signing free agents.  It is a circular argument that proves nothing.  

If you look at teams that won in the preceding year (before signing a quality FA), I'd bet that there are far more success stories than stories where the FA was clearly the biggest reason for that team's decline.

Signing quality FA's isn't as risky as you make it seem.
