Those things go hand in hand. You have to manage the cap well to build a great roster over the long haul.

Dorsey and Teid report to Hunt. So Hunt would have to be okay with it. They were all in the draft room together

Most of the front office is gone since the end of the season some of the scouts too. You tell me what happened I think it's pretty obvious.

Oh look Eagles cast offs

Andy forced it.

The fact that it was announced simultaneously with the extension isn't a coincidence.

Andy didn't just sign off on it, he was the catalyst.

one step forward, two steps back

same as it ever was.

Definitely a Reid power move

Put up or shut up andy

Reid just got extended, Dorsey got the ax and the rumors are that Reid's former scout is going to be the new GM.

Look, I've been a huge Dorsey proponent and it's easy to look at his accomplishment and how they've positively impacted the Chiefs organization.

But, IMO, this move, while shocking, shouldn't be unexpected.

The Chiefs dumped Trip McCracken and Will Lewis and dumped some scouts. Dorsey has clearly made some errors during his tenure including Dunta Robinson, Vance Walker, Dwayne Bowe, Jeremy Maclin and Mike McGlynn, not to mention being punked by Justin Houston and Eric Berry's agents.

Additionally, this firing occurred just two days after it was revealed the Jeremy Maclin played through a groin injury, the same Maclin that was released by Dorsey via voicemail. The Chiefs cap is a disaster, thanks to stupid deals to Tamba Hali (after taking a $4 million dollar cap hit), cutting Jaye Howard just a year after extending him, Maclin's deal, etc.

I don't know if the Maclin reveal was the proverbial "Straw that broke the camel's back", but it wouldn't be surprising.

I don't know, at this point, how it makes the team better in the short term and long term, but I can understand why it was done, especially if Dorsey had his sights on replacing Ted Thompson eventually.

Or Reid was good at making those players Dorsey brought in better than they actually are. You know...what he's been doing his whole career. Like I said, Reid has been a GM since 2001, he had one bad year. I'd rather have him than Dorsey.

He had been essentially the GM since 2001. So yeah, no he was not a complete disaster or even close to it as a GM.

lolwut look at the Eagles drafts the last several years under Reid. They drafted a 27 year old guard in the first round and he made an offensive line coach his DC.

So the Chiefs are ****ed?

Everyone is speculating that Veach will be the next GM. Former Eagles reporters are saying and speculating
