Ex-Chiefs, Browns GM John Dorsey to take prominent role in Detroit Lions front office

The Detroit Lions are adding one of the best talent evaluators in the NFL, someone who had a hand in building the rosters for two of this year's playoff teams, to their front office.

Former Kansas City Chiefs and Cleveland Browns general manager John Dorsey has agreed to join the Lions as a senior personnel executive, a person with knowledge of the deal but not yet authorized to speak about it publicly told the Free Press.

Dorsey's deal is not yet finalized, but no hang-ups are expected to keep it from happening and the move likely will be announced this week.
