Not sure this is on the Chiefs at all. If Dorsey would not give Clark assurances that he'd honor his whole contract (I.e. Not leave for GB), then wouldn't that be on Dorsey? [Reply]

Clark says: Reid is the man behind the picks so why am I diking with Dorsey if he can't manage the $'s right and won't even commit to KC?
Reid gets handed full control
Dorsey gets fired
We're in the same boat we were yesterday, no Maclin, no Charles.
This cannot be ruled out and in Clark's eyes is probably viewed as a wash. If Reid was more of the man behind the talent and Dorsey was smoke and mirrors with it while ****ing up the $'s then yeah,....I see this happening.
I've thought that could be the case, too. But if Dorsey is just a glorified scout, he's a damn good one. It's still a big loss. [Reply]

Very confusing. I would have thought this was about green Bay. If it isn't, what the fuck...
Very concerning. I'm most interested in why tons of personnel guys left, not just Dorsey. Either they didn't want to work for Dorsey or Clark didn't want them working for him. I tend to think it's the latter and if so, Holy shit. [Reply]

Per Ian Rapoport on NFL Network, it was due to inability to agree on an extension. He said that they had been negotiating an extension for several months but were unable to agree to terms and Clark decided to in another direction. [Reply]
