Terez A. Paylor of The Kansas City Star polled a number of sources with knowledge of Dorsey's dismissal - who spoke on the condition of anonymity - to assess why the executive was suddenly released.

"John does stuff and doesn’t tell people why," an unnamed source told Paylor.
"He’s not a big disciplinarian or big on chain of command, so people did what they wanted," another source added.
Dorsey was hired as the Chiefs' general manager in January 2013. During his four campaigns with the club, the Chiefs posted a cumulative 43-21 record, made the playoffs three times, and won the AFC West division last season.
The team has yet to announce Dorsey's replacement.
