There's nothing 'logical' about that theory at all unless it's also combined with Hunts refusal to attempt to buy it out. One of those cannot exist without the other.

It's the only logical conclusion.
Bob LaMonte represents Dorsey and Reid. If LaMonte couldn't negotiate a contract to Hunt and Dorsey's liking, LaMonte would have been fired and someone else would have tried to negotiate a deal.
As far as we know, that didn't happen.
Dorsey wasn't fired for reckless spending or cutting Maclin or poor salary cap management when he's brought so much success to the Chiefs organization. Clark Hunt has never reacted with anger or disgust towards his employees. Hell, he even tried to convince Reid to work with Pioli!
There had to be a fatal impasse in the negotiations, so much so that Hunt said, "We're better off without you this year", while
paying him this year.
