Chiefs Lions "might make a place" for Dorsey - Page 2

Phil: I've heard on more than one occasion that the Lions should swing a deal for DT Glenn Dorsey. I haven't heard much from him in Kansas City, what has he done? What could his trade value be and why would the Chiefs trade him since they spent a 2008 1st round pick on him?
Tom Kowalski: Lions defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham was on the Chiefs' staff when Kansas City drafted him and Cunningham really likes the kid. The reason he might be available is because the Chiefs drafted Dorsey as a 4-3 defensive tackle and they've now switched schemes and he's playing a 3-4 end. Neither the Chiefs nor Dorsey is apparently happy with the results and that's why I think the Lions might make a play for him in the off-season. I still think it's a longshot, but it's a shot worth taking.
As for trade value, I'm not sure what he'd cost. I think you might see something a little creative, like swapping of picks in a round or two, as opposed to a straight-up one-for-one deal. We'll see if this heats up as we get closer to the draft.

EDIT: I meant "might make a play" but don't know how to change the subject.

Look you trade Dorsey get a few more picks move 1 of those seconds for a proven WR like Marshall or Boldin and sign Seymour. You've upgraded 2 positions and added picks.

Jackson will have to have a breakout year.

DBOSHO · 01-20-2010, 03:35 PM

Straight up for calvin or a 1 and a 3.

Dorsey is getting better, and he will most likely get even stronger this offseason.

Chiefnj2 · 01-20-2010, 03:36 PM

Trade away the only member of the DL who has shown anything?

That's what all the draft experts said when we drafted him a couple years ago. So much for that shit.

The Lions draft 2nd and we draft 5th. No amount of "swapping picks in a round" is going to be enough.

What about swapping our 2nd round pick from Atlanta for Detroits 2nd?

Consistent1 · 01-20-2010, 03:47 PM

It might well be possible that IF they were to trade him that Detroit's nice 2nd this year would be the best you could get. You won't see a 1st IMO, and I don't even think multiple picks are all that likely, but that's just me.

Hog's Gone Fishin · 01-20-2010, 03:49 PM

How bout Dorsey for their 2011 #1 and this years #3

**tyler360** · 01-20-2010, 03:49 PM

CJ or Stafford. Otherwise no deal. Unless we get an amazing amount of picks for him which we wont so no.

Well to be fair, hes playing a position that is alot different than wat we drafted him for.

**The Franchise** · 01-20-2010, 03:54 PM

I'll trade Dorsey for Louis Delmas and their 3rd round pick.

no way. That guy's a bigger bust than Dorsey. Had him on my fantasy team riding the bench behind Chambers and Bowe.
