Chiefs Jason La Canfora Rumors - Page 8

CaliforniaChief · 10-13-2009, 05:22 PM

Just saw on "Around the League" on NFL Network. He's reporting that in addition to Brady Quinn and Shawne Merriman, that Glenn Dorsey could be on the move. He says that the Chiefs coaches are down on him and some teams might be looking to move in for him. Also said that DJ could be had for "the right package." Sorry, no link....just saw it.

Don't know if this has been posted yet but
Brady Quinn reportedly put his Cleveland home up for sale on Tuesday.
The natural assumption is that Quinn expects to be dealt before next week's trade deadline, but NFL Network's Jason La Canfora reported Tuesday night that it's unlikely. Quinn's asking price is also $775,000 for the five-bedroom, five-bath house, which will be very difficult to get in this economy.

Quinn to the Chiefs for Dorsey, Bowe, DJ, and a $5 foot long.

...you heard it here first.

what has he done to "try and piss off" each of those players?

I'm still a Dorsey fan. He is making plays and getting penetration into the backfield. Now if we could get that pussy Brown to tackle. If we are going to stick with the multiple fronts and not play a true 3-4, then I would keep him.

We do that mostly because we don't have the proper players for a 3 - 4. I know teams mix it up from time to time as part of thier overall scheme, but the Chiefs do it mostly for other reasons.

DORSEY TRADE BAIT?
October 14th – 9:20 AM

Glenn Dorsey is once again in the spotlight for Kansas City. Earlier this week, NFL.com’s Jason La Canfora announced that the Chiefs brass are “down” on Dorsey and that a trade involving the fifth overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft may be in the works.

Here is an exerpt from La Confora’s blog on NFL.com.

“I’m also told by numerous league sources that the coaching staff in Kansas City isn’t high on NT Glenn Dorsey, a former first-round draft pick. There’s always a demand for nose tackles in this league, and the salary-cap ramifications wouldn’t be a deterrent in dealing for Dorsey.“

First, let me go on record by saying that La Canfora can generally be counted on for providing accurate information involving all 32 teams. In short, he is a respected reporter when it comes to the NFL. I don’t doubt that La Canfora hasn’t heard a bird chirp in his ear about the potential destinations of various Chiefs as we near the trade deadline on October 20th. But his information about the coaching staff in Kansas City being “down” on Dorsey may be a bit outdated. Also, Dorsey plays defensive end.

Dorsey began training camp out of shape and, as Dorsey himself admitted, didn’t pass the club’s conditioning test. He was officially in “the doghouse” so to speak. That was back in late July. Since then, however, Dorsey has paid his dues, worked his way back into shape and appears to be the cornerstone of the Chiefs defensive line at this point in the season.

The second-year player has been quietly turning in solid performance after solid performance. He’s continually one of the first players coming off the line of scrimmage on the snap and has been getting plenty of push from his end post. Dorsey possibly turned in the best performance of his young career vs. Oakland and has built off of that performance each week.

The results of Dorsey’s labor has seen the defensive end play in nearly every defensive snap this season. Dorsey has turned in 275 total defensive snaps this season. That is an average of 55 plays per game and hardly a sign of someone either out of shape or in the dog house. In fact, Dorsey’s 275 snaps lead all Chiefs defensive linemen this season. DE Tyson Jackson has seen the second-most action by appearing in 194 total plays (38.8 avg.).

While moving any player (besides QB Matt Cassel and Jackson) before the deadline isn’t out of the question, moving Dorsey would need to make a lot of sense for Kansas City. If Dorsey were to move on, DE Wallace Gilberry and DE Alex Magee would likely be thrust into the spotlight. Both players have seen limited action to date this season. The scenario of Dorsey packing his bags seems unlikely, and packing his bags for San Diego (which La Canfora offered as a destination in a television interview) seems downright inconceivable. Who knows though, crazier things have happened at the deadline.

Just ask yourself this. What would it take to trade the “can’t miss” defensive lineman on every teams board just 21 games into his career? Is there even a deal out there that begins to make sense for KC? We’ll only know for certain when October 21st comes around.

LaCaforna said something about Dorsey being a Nose Tackle. Idiot. I have no problem trading DJ, but Dorsey has been the surprise of the season thus far and is turning into one of our best defensive players. No point in trading him unless you get a ridiculous package for him (and you won't).

**The Franchise** · 10-14-2009, 09:39 AM

No to Dorsey.....yes to DJ.

SenselessChiefsFan · 10-14-2009, 09:45 AM

Trading DJ will reduce the Chiefs cap number.... maybe unlikely given that they are well below the salary floor.

Trading Dorsey would increase their cap number. Probably still unlikely, but would put them at the salary floor without spending another dime.

Just a thought.

Sure-Oz · 10-14-2009, 09:56 AM

trade that worthless pos dj

TheGuardian · 10-14-2009, 09:59 AM

I don't think the chiefs are going to be trading players to get close to the caps floor.

Derrick Johnson is in the doghouse, Dorsey is not and outside of Flowers has been our best defensive player so far this season (oh wait he's a bust right! heh). Everything this guy is writing appears to be complete bunk based off of things said or done months ago.
