Chiefs hope to keep Dorsey, but Starks tag could complicate things

Posted by Mike Florio on March 7, 2013, 10:08 AM EST

Five years ago, the Chiefs picked defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey with the fifth overall selection in the draft.

The next year, the 4-3 interior lineman saw the Chiefs install a 3-4 defense.

And while the Chiefs are sticking with a 3-4 defense under new coach Andy Reid, they hope to keep Dorsey on the roster.

But here’s the problem, from the Chiefs’ perspective. The removal of Dolphins defensive tackle Randy Starks from the open market via the franchise tag is expected to result in more interest in Dorsey.

Unless a new deal is done between Dorsey and the Chiefs in the next two days, Dorsey will be able to explore the open market, via his agent talking to the teams.

I already moved on from him.

I'd be happy with this as long as the price is right.

Poe and Jackson as the ends and Dorsey in the middle.

2 year 7-8 million total.

four years of this and you are still barking about how Dorsey is magically should be plugged in as a NT in a 34

news flash, Glenn Dorsey will never and can not be a NT in a 34. Sorry to bust your dream bubble but after 4 years you'd think these stupid magical positional switch ideas would flame out

I've never said he should be a 2 gap nose, but I have said for that long that he should be tried as a 1gap nose. I've said since 2010 (when there was a chance we would have been able to hire Wade Phillips as the dc, but his cowboys won a playoff game and he was kept for another year) that we should have been running a 1 gap attacking 3-4 and that Dorseys skill set coming out of college fits the requirement of that position.

I don't care if you disagree.

This will be the first year that it's actually possible.

I bet JJ Watt could play any position. The scheme bullshit gets tired.

JJ Watt would be an exceptional nickel/dime corner IMO.

It would be worth just to stop the Star at #1 nonsense.

I can't imagine the Falcons don't take a long look. Their run D sucks and he would help that a ton...

If Dorsey is wanting to be a 2-gap DE, then he should just stick with us.
