I know most on here hate AP, but this is a story that a guy wrote up that is actually quite believable.. I won't try to explain it all here, but if you believe this, then it has the answer to what happened with Dorsey. Straight from Dorsey's mouth.
According to this, Dorsey asked Hunt for an out to go to GB in his next contract. Apparently, Clark wasn't having it, and basically just made the choice to go in a different direction right then and there.

This makes a great deal of sense. Hunt had previously publically said he wanted to extend Dorsey's contract. Dorsey has made some great draft choices and some money management mis-steps but nothing had really changed between Hunt's statements and the firing. Maclin's release may not have been handled the best but it really didn't rank as a firing offense. And money made no sense for a contract sticking point. Hunt really wouldn't renew Dorsey's contract over a few hundred thousand dollars?
I can absolutely see Hunt refusing to grant an out to another team and that being a deal breaker. Of all of the rumors, suggestions and theories, this makes the most sense. Admittedly, this could be a load of crap. Maybe Hunt didn't want to pay the extra money or he didn't like Dorsey's style. I wasn't there and I don't know. But Occam's Razor suggests this is the most likely reason.
