I love Clark as a owner. Dorsey was great at finding talent but sucked ass at contracts. I think Maclins contract was enough for Clark

This isn't his cap management. If that's all it was, you spend a few bucks and get a cap management specialist (y'know, like the guy we had). And if he's not a favorite for the GB job, then he wasn't leaving this one voluntarily. Reid cut him off at the knees. Nothing else adds up. You don't fire a guy with the success he's had drafting because of a temper tantrum over how a guy with 1 successful season was cut. Talent trumps, lads and John Dorsey had a hell of an eye for talent. Are we already forgetting just how incredibly he navigated the draft this year? The guy knew exactly who he wanted and exactly how high he needed to be to get him. He had the plan mapped out over a week in advance. The guy was a goddamn draft ninja. This is either shortsighted, a bitch-fit, or both. It's stupid. |
Terez Paylor said that his sources suggested there might have been some things said during negotiations which really sparked an issue..

I think Andy has had and will continue to have more overall power than we realize. He's had final say in his contract for the past 4 years, and that didn't change. Perhaps that was something Dorsey wanted more flexibility with.
This tweet from LeSean McCoy a couple months back at least tells us that he saw something in Brett Veach. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Brett Veach is our man Brett Veach is our guy ...!!!!!!!</p>— Lesean McCoy (@CutonDime25) <a href="https://twitter.com/CutonDime25/status/859851420631269377">May 3, 2017</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> |

I don't care what McCoy thinks that has no bearing on beaches ability to run a franchise

Because Smith's the cause of at least one of those losses and nothing Dorsey did to the cap mattered a damn bit in Arrowhead last January. Meanwhile, as Tyreek Hill went screaming uncovered down the field, Andy Reid's handpicked quarterback rolled right and overthrew a runningback. Reid slit Dorsey's throat. |

Clark Hunt hasn't made rash decisions in the past. He let Carl hang himself and did the same with Pioli, who he paid more than $20 million to go away. He's continually spoken about continuity in his franchise and has invoked the Steelers as his model. Therefore, the only logical conclusion is what I mentioned yesterday: Dorsey wouldn't sign an extension without an escape clause allowing him to leave for Green Bay. It's the only thing that makes sense. Mellinger came to the same conclusion last night. Now, as for Brett Veach, he interviewed for the Buffalo opening that eventually went to Brandon Beane. Sean McDermott, who worked under Reid for years and knew both Veach and Beane, is running the whole franchise in Buffalo. Final say and all that. If I'm a serious GM candidate, that's not a very favorable setup. Regardless, Veach has been a hot name in GM circles for a while, so I'm not certain that if he's hired that it means that Reid has consolidated power and now runs the show. If Reid has done so, it either means that he's extremely charming behind the scenes or Clark Hunt, a former Goldman Sachs guy, is extremely gullible. It's hard for me to buy either. The bottom line is that Clark Hunt just fired the man that's overseen a Chiefs renaissance. And we may never know the reason why. |

This is just my .2 cents on the subject. I'm shocked and pissed off just like the majority of you that aren't sitting here slandering Dorsey for doing a great job these past 4 years.
I think this has a lot to do with Dorsey potentially wanting to go back to Green Bay. There was a ton of smoke about this last December and I think there was a lot of truth to that. I think Dorsey wanted an out if Green Bay came calling. That and I think he wanted to be the highest paid GM in the league. I think Clark used his poor cap management against him in the negotiations. I think we will get the truth somewhere down the line. It's really a terrible look for Clark and the stability he has preached with this organization. |
I think the real battle is Clark versus Dorsey. I don't think it's Reid versus Dorsey. Clark could have just played this out for a year and not renewed the contract and there wouldn't be this big of a backlash. He's paying Dorsey millions not to be the GM of this team this year. There's something between those two.
