Ian Greengross’ cell phone buzzed on the evening of Oct. 17. It was Chiefs general manager John Dorsey, the call Knile Davis’ agent had been waiting for.
“Ian, you asked for it — I got it done,” Dorsey told Greengross. “Good luck to the kid; I hope he does well.”
Greengross had asked Dorsey to trade his running back client as far back as March, after Davis was supplanted on the depth chart in 2015 by Spencer Ware and Charcandrick West.
Now, Dorsey had dealt Davis to the tailback-needy Green Bay Packers for a conditional 2018 draft pick, and Davis couldn’t have been more excited.
