Talks between No. 5 overall pick Glenn Dorsey and the Kansas City Chiefs have been temporarily suspended. Kansas City general manager Carl Peterson said that the team will not talk to Dorsey's agent, Joel Segal, for the time being. Peterson said Segal wants to wait for more first rounders to sign before Dorsey signs his deal.

Dorsey, a defensive tackle from LSU, is the highest unsigned draft pick. If waiting for more players to sign is, indeed, the delay to Dorsey signing, the end could be in sight. It has been reported that the Jets are close to signing No. 6 overall pick Vernon Gholston.

In the meantime, the Chiefs are close to starting training camp without Dorsey.
