Kansas City Chiefs: John Dorsey says he wants to stay long-term
Kansas City Chiefs general manager John Dorsey talked to the media on Thursday, saying he wants to be in this position for the long haul.
There has been some talk about whether or not the Chiefs would be losing John Dorsey in the near future. His contract runs out next offseason, and while he has done a great job with the team, there could be interest from the Green Bay Packers.
Reportedly, Green Bay is intriguing by the thought of replacing current general manager Ted Thompson with Dorsey should the opportunity present itself. Additionally, it was reported that Dorsey, who played and scouted for more than two decades with the Packers, would be interested.
On Thursday, Dorsey told the local media that he wants to stay in Kansas City for the long haul, stating that these last four years have been the best of his life. When further pressed, he also said he wants to see his youngest child, baby Jack, graduate high school in Kansas City.

Keeping Dorsey around long-term should be Clark Hunt’s top priority, along with signing Andy Reid in the same capacity. Dorsey has led the Chiefs to three postseason appearances in four years, along with consecutive appearances in the Divisional round for the first time in club history.
