Andy Reid's new contract lost in Chiefs' decision to fire John Dorsey

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- On any other day, the five-year contract extension for Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid would be something for the team’s fans to celebrate. One of the best coaches in Chiefs history will be around for the foreseeable future to solidify his part in the franchise’s direction.

But there’s no way to make Thursday a good one for the Chiefs, not when another main decision-maker, general manager John Dorsey, was let go. Dorsey, who had one season remaining on the contract he signed upon arriving in Kansas City in 2013, was the best scout and the boldest thinker the Chiefs have ever had in their general manager.
