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.

**Canofbier** · 03-07-2013, 01:58 PM

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

**BossChief** · 03-07-2013, 02:05 PM

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

2 year 7-8 million total.

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...

Direckshun · 03-07-2013, 02:24 PM

See.

The Chiefs do not want to invest the #1 overall in the DE spot Dorsey vacated.

We've heard the Chiefs want to keep him. We've heard the Chiefs want to bring in Chris Canty.

Take all 3-4 DEs off your 1.1 shortlist, folks.

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

I personally wouldn't mind seeing Dorsey leave.

He's been a disappointment in terms of not living up to his draft selection...of course that's not entirely his fault, but still it is what it is. He can stop the run...that's about it, this team needs DL that can get to the QB. That's the only way this team will be a top 5 unit

If Dorsey was drafted in the fourth round, wouldn't you think differently about him?

You don't sign or draft players for what they've done, you sign them based on what they can do.

New information...i thought he was as good as gone.

the CoMo has spoken. Dorsey, get that contract done. Don't let Glenn leave Arrowhead drive.

yeah, dorsey really doesn't fit in a 3-4. definitely doesnt fit in a 1 gap.

Aren't we going to a 1 gap system? Or will we mix it up? Anyone know if all three down linemen in the base front are 1 gap with Sutton, or if he mixes it up? What's his most common base alignment (are the ends lined up at the 5, or in the gaps?) and for nickel and dime?

The answer to those questions can help us try to predict what mid to late rounders we will likely target.
