Like you said, I too now believe that Dorsey was practicing Bill B.-type cutting and negotiation, and that it came to a head during his discussions with Clark.
I'm fairly positive that Clark doesn't want the Chiefs to become known as a ruthless franchise where long term players are shown the door on the fly.
Personally, I think that style is long overdue in KC after years of trying to milk the last drops of talent from several old cows.
