The key is to draft well, develop well, and retain your talent.
So you won't really need to bring in a bunch of outside FAs, but you do use outside FA to fill the couple of spots to go to that next level.
Bengals were close to that back in 2015. They had mostly drafted players and were able to re-sign them. They just never really used outside FA to get those last couple of players to become a true contender.

Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.
