The Detroit Lions are reportedly bringing in John Dorsey.
According to Tom Pelissero, the Lions are expected to add Dorsey as a senior personnel executive to help round out GM Brad Homles’ front office staff. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)
The #Lions are expected to add former #Chiefs and #Browns GM John Dorsey as a senior personnel executive, per sources. One of the NFL’s best evaluators adds experience to the front office of first-time GM Brad Holmes.

I’m kind of iffy on this move. Obviously, Dorsey isn’t actually calling the shots, but it sounds like a pretty damn senior role.
When Dorsey was the general manager of the Chiefs, he did a great job building the foundation that we see rolling right now in Kansas City.
So, the man clearly has had some successes in his career.
However, let’s not forget that Dorsey was also pushed out in Cleveland, and most certainly didn’t have nearly the same level of success.
Now, Cleveland had a solid year this season, but they were far from great under Dorsey’s watch. So, he certainly has a mixed record.
However, if he can provide a little experience for Holmes and stability to the front office, then I’m for it. The Lions simply need to figure out a way to win games. It’s that simple. If Dorsey can help Detroit, then I’m all for it.
