All this contract stuff led to a dispute about who had the power. It could all be crap, it could all be true. Looking from the outside, it certainly fits what happened though.

We definitely heard leaks about Dorsey wanting Berry to pay for an insurance policy with his new contract. Berry got pissed, Dorsey basically refused to sign a contract without protection for the team. Clark Hunt flew up just to talk to Berry and work on the contract. A few days later Berry signed this big contract without any insurance or protection for the team. I don't think that Dorsey was even in the room.

Houston and Berry's contracts both took a long time to complete because I don't think that Dorsey thought they were a good idea. What it appears like from outside of the organization.

Dorsey comes from Green Bay, where they build from the draft and are careful who the pay big money. It makes sense that after Berry's cancer and Houston's persistent knee issues that Dorsey would be hesitant.

No.


No ****ing way.


The club cHunt gambled on Berry/Houston to be core and soul of this defense, and the club cHunt lost.





Absolutely. Do NOT repeat the mistake. The Chiefs are currently riding the crest of a long-overdue wave where the mistakes of the past are being cut like cancer from the collective host.
No need to put the vehicle in reverse.





Ya' think??? And what the **** is he doing back-ending the person he hired for that job and responsibility? That's not a good precedent, and this was HARDLY a "Save Our Chiefs"-scenario. You know, a scenario that would actually REQUIRE the hand of ownership to intervene???
( If we believe the stories, Hunt didn't want to touch such a "distasteful" event, much less fire the prick who caused it )


Let him wear his "dope crown"; he's earned the mother****er.





The issue currently on the table is not Dorsey's ability or inability to draft; it's about a GM looking out for his team financially both in the present AND future, and being blamed for cap woes and contracts that in hindsight were not of his creation.

So, this is a little off topic, but it deals with player pain. I know the NFL has marijuana on its banned substance list. Do they also list Kratom as a banned substance?

Time ultimately dispels fiction... and Dorsey was right on with both Berry and Maclin. KC let their best GM in franchise history go for petty, non-football, pissing match bullshit.

Just remember on Monday...that Hill, Kelce and Hunt cost KC two 3rds and a 5th round pick. Mahomes was drafted and the trade engineered by him too...the best looking QB prospect in maybe 10 years or ever. Veach was the whistle blower but JD had the vision to know exactly where to move...kind of like Chris Jones too.

The dude cracked a code that has eluded this franchise for almost 50 years...mad props.

**** off, Chunt....Wormy, corporate douchebag.

Seeing Maclin's name reminds me... do people realize we're still paying him a shitload of dead money? Almost 5 million of our cap.

Exactly. Veach hasn't yet shown he knows what he's doing in the draft.
