Chiefs get Dorsey into camp

Glenn Dorsey walked up and shook hands with the man who’d just made him rich.

“I promise I’ll work hard,” said the big defensive tackle, towering over Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt.

“I know you will,” Hunt said. “It’s great to have you with us.”

After a brief contract holdout that essentially cost him only one practice, Dorsey signed a five-year, $51 million deal Saturday morning that includes an option year and more than $22 million in guaranteed money. The 300-pound All-American from LSU, the fifth player taken overall in April, will be the cornerstone of a line that’s being rebuilt to make up for the loss of Pro Bowl defensive end Jared Allen.

“He is going to be a very good player for us,” Hunt said. “He’s got all the tools.”

Panthers sign Stewart

The Carolina Panthers signed running back Jonathan Stewart to a five-year $20-million deal that includes $10.8 million in guaranteed money, putting all their draft picks under contract before the team’s first training camp practice.

Stewart, the 13th overall pick out of Oregon, is expected to compete for the starting job with last year’s backup, DeAngelo Williams. The Panthers released last year’s starter DeShaun Foster. The 5-foot-10, 235-pound Stewart missed off-season workouts following toe surgery.
