Chiefs GM John Dorsey becomes third Executive of the Year award recipient fired in 2017

Nobody knows what the hell is going with the Kansas City Chiefs. They started the month by cutting Jeremy Maclin, and now they’ve just let go of general manager John Dorsey. I doubt anyone could’ve seen this move coming.

While head coach Andy Reid was given a contract extension, Dorsey was given the boot. Two seasons ago, the Chiefs broke their 22-year winless postseason drought with a shutout road triumph over the Houston Texans, and last season they won the AFC West and earned a first-round bye. The Chiefs made the playoffs in three of the four years under Dorsey, who built what one could consider the AFC equivalent of the Seahawks defense, especially in the secondary.
