That's untrue. Clark already said the decision to release Dorsey came after thorough examination of the entire football operation, and made no mention of contract negotiations, which lines up with the info provided by RunKC.
The awkwardness between Dorsey and Hunt after selecting Mahomes can clearly be seen in the video. Reid was clearly pissed at the questions about Berry during Voluntary OTA's. Berry and Houston were both very curt with their answers after Mandatory OTA's.
It's not a stretch to assume that Mark Donovan, Reid and Hunt were livid with the manner in which Maclin was released.
I personally think Clark is acting the way he is because of the Pioli fiasco. He gave Pioli total control over everything and he's not willing to do it again. That's why he has the coach and GM reporting straight to him seperately. He decides his hired and fired at the top level himself. [Reply]

This roster is regarded by many as one of the top "top to bottom" rosters in the league. We dumped a sure thing for a complete unknown and the odds don't favor us.
There are many people left in the organization that played a role in drafting and signing players on this roster. It's a collaborative effort, one put in place by Reid and Hunt, so it shouldn't be a stretch to assume they will continue with the same process.
The guys in the personnel department know what kind of football players fit Reid and Sutton's schemes.
There's no preactical reason to assume that would change with a new GM. [Reply]

Time will tell if this was the right move or the wrong move.
But for people that always wanted a more "hands on owner", say "hello" to Clark Hunt. [Reply]
Some of you act like Dorsey was Ozzie Newsome with the Ravens. He wasn't that good of a GM. Lot of talent has been coached up to play above their means by Reid. That wasn't a 12-4 football team last year talent wise. It was a 9-7 to 10-6 team that got by on some lucky breaks and outstanding coaching by Reid. [Reply]

The roster Dorsey out together the last few years is a hell of alot more better than Newsomes in that time frame. [Reply]

Newsome has won two Super Bowls, 13 years apart.
Dorsey's team couldn't get past the Divisional round. [Reply]
At least when Moore released Chris Young it was face to face. Hell he even invited him over to his house. Unlike a certain gm who releases players via voicemail [Reply]
