In fact, because of the leverage afforded KC by the franchise tag, there's an excellent chance they'll get him for a little bit less than he'd make on the open market if they're willing to get extremely aggressive with the signing bonus.
To act like he's going to overplay his hand and demand a 10% 'Chiefs tax' to stay long-term with Kansas City is just silly. No, he's demanding a lot of money to stay because that's his market value. There's nothing wrong with that.

Yeah but, the smart thing to do would be for Dorsey to wait. Everyone knows he's not going to duplicate what he did last year. If he doesn't want to take what you are offering now. offer the same deal in March and it will probably look pretty good.
There is no reason to sign him now unless he is really cooperating and wants the fair deal.
