[Quesadilla Joe]

Chiefs banged out (cc: @daringantt) an agreement with S Daniel Sorensen: 4 years for $16m, almost half guaranteed. Another $2m in incentives

It seems houston and berry have changed Dorsey's mind on letting players "prove it" in the last year.

Yes. **** this guy and **** this deal.

Find someone who can nab you 60+ tackles, 3 INT, forced fumbles and has the position versatility he has for $4 million per or less not on a rookie contract.

Bitching for the sake of bitching. It ain't your money, so why the butthurt? Guy knows the system, is loved in the locker room and can ball.

But I get it - he wasn't voted to the PROBOWL and his Madden rankings/stats are just ok.

Dummies.

Sorensen could be replaced with an average veteran free agent or a mid-round draft pick easily.

His WAR would be zero

Wow. That's rape for a backup safety special teamer

He does okay in his role in pass defense, but he's also asked to play in the box, where he is a liability.

And this has nothing to do with meaningless accolades, and I have never played Madden.

I also think that Berry is overpaid, and I'm a big fan of Berry.

[Bowser]

He's an ascending player that's young and knows the system. This has the feel of Dorsey trying to sign he and LDT on their potential before they fully hit it and demand huge bucks on the FA market. I have no issue with this.

makes good sense

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Face it, EVERYBODY is overpaid. Look at the 8-10 million per year signed by jobbers. Mike Glennon got 15 million per for ****s sake.

Do you live on Twitter? Not sure your end game for posting EVERY questionable Chief move, turd.

Looking at this objectively, he was developed to replace Husain Abdullah and to his credit, he had a better 2016 season than any Abdullah had combined in his 3 years here.

He's really bad vs the run though, but I think part of that is getting left in the nickel with no help.

It looks like a reasonable contract so I don't see a big issue here. But I agree that Eric Murray could do his job well.

How would a Chiefs fan be treated if he posted all the Broncos updates on the Mange?

This news broke an hour before I posted it. I was surprised it wasn't posted already.

[Red Dawg]

I have no problem keeping him. He will only get better and has gotten better an earned more playing time. He's got a high motor and has made some plays when on the field.

My Madden comment was not specifically directed at you. But "knee jerk planet" does not take long to surface at the announcing of new contracts/acquisitions. The fact that Sorenson CAN play in the box, on teams, and blitz, and play in coverage should tell us something.

I agree with your Berry comment. More have to realize that these players are being compensated for more than what we just see on Sundays. I view Sorenson as a very dependable, consistent player with a huge versatility plus. Not a lot of players can do what he can, as well as he can.
