Clark Hunt has repeatedly stated that it was important to lock up Dorsey and Reid to extensions.
In the meantime, Dorsey's name has been in play to replace Ted Thompson in Green Bay for the better part of a year.
I think it's highly likely that Dorsey refused to sign an extension because he wanted to see where Green Bay stood in 2018 and in doing so, Clark decided to fire him and move forward.
