Dorsey bungled the salary cap and so he's gone. Not much more to the story. He can draft and find steals from the UDFA pool and cut lists, but you can't keep screwing the pooch on your big contracts.

Everything is just speculation, we don't know anything.

OP is pure conjecture and speculation. God bless you Cochise, but I completely disagree with the theme and content of your post. This team is going to be fine. Way too early to go off the deep end. Quit flinging poo and pour yourself an adult beverage... enjoy the summer.

My care right now is the development of Patrick Mahomes II and want Andy Reid to concentrate on coaching him and the team. Fortunately Dorsey did the work for 2017 with what should be miner changes for the 53 roster to be pin pointed but they got the guys set for this year so we can at least get by for now.

People keep saying Dorsey screwed the cap. Wasn't Trip McKracken the salary cap executive?
Certain NFL organizations love to make the same mistakes over and over again ignoring history. KC is looking a lot like Philly, and not the golden years.

The point being, the only way this works out well is if Mahomes becomes one of the league's elite QBs, good enough to cover all of Reid's shortcomings. Reid himself is not a good enough coach to do much more than win regular season games.
And if our hopes are pinned on Reid developing Mahomes, how optimistic should we be given Reid's history with QBs? The Hunt family's experiment into coaches that are not accountable to GMs is going to fail. Especially with this coach, this team needs a strong GM, not a puppet. |

One sure fire way to stay under the cap is to draft shitty talent that doesn't command big contracts. Getting rid of Dorsey and his draft record should help us get out of that situation. If cap mgmt was really the driving factor here then this team will never amount to anything as long as Clark owns the team. Putting cap mgmt over a great draft record seems really misguided to me.

Reid coached Favre, and turned Smith into a tolerable QB. I have faith in him to turn Mahomes into a great QB... or at least someone who can throw deep to Tyreek

We had to watch the Donks outbid us on Sanders and put together a team of Allstars on defense, paying Manning a huge paycheck and still having plenty of room under the cap. They used the cap to buy a Championship. The Faders just handed out the largest contract in NFL to a guy that has never won a playoff game, they have been outbidding everyone on marginal talent and are still in great cap shape to pull a Denver the next few years and load up for a run to the Superbowl. Meanwhile under Dorsey.. The Chiefs did not even have enough money to sign their rookies to contracts. That is a HUGE disadvantage and worthy of being terminated just for these reasons alone. Dorsey let Poe walk without even giving him a contract to sniff at and then overpaid for Logan, who most on here agreed was not worth that kind of money. Did not even try to renegotiate the albatross contract signed by Maclin and did the chicken shit thing of leaving a message to tell him to hit the bricks. Dorsey did not really address the middle linebacker position besides bringing in a couple of guys we could not afford. The secondary still has big question marks especially with a brittle guy like Gaines expected to contribute. Dorsey also passed up on many great players in the draft that could have helped this year but chose mostly dark horses that he squandered multiple late picks on. When you add up the all the missteps in big contracts, Dorsey looks pretty inept at running a football team. Even signing the Canadian Doctor to a mega contract brought howls of displeasure on here. It could end up a bargain in the long run, but burns up valuable cap space that could have been used to plug glaring holes in the defense. Dorsey will always be remembered fondly for finding diamonds in the scrap heap, he has a great nose for undeveloped talent and churning the bottom ten or so of the roster. But it is the top of the roster and managing the cap wisely as proven by the Pats and Donks in recent history- that wins Championships. In that area he failed miserably. |

One of the GM's of our biggest rivals still thinks we have the best 53 top to bottom in the league.

Raiders haven't really had to pay anyone yet (Carr being the first mega deal), but let's see how they look after signing Mack and Cooper. Meanwhile, we gambled on Berry and Houston not playing at all-world levels in a contract year and got burned. We got great production out of them but then had to pay up. Smith, Berry, and Houston would make for a tough cap situation for a lot of teams, I would think. I'll give you the doc's deal was odd, and I'd throw in Fisher and Hali as other question marks. Still, with the quality players we have and several stars, should we really expect to have the most cap room in the league? |
