Chiefs president Carl Peterson challenged Glenn Dorsey to encourage his agent, Joel Segal, to work harder to get the fifth overall pick signed.

Peterson said that as of this morning, the sides were not close to a deal and had temporarily suspended contract talks. Dorsey is the highest unsigned draft pick. Peterson said Segal wanted to wait until more first-round picks had signed before they proceeded.

"Our comment to Glenn Dorsey’s agent was: Look it, since you don’t want to negotiate, we’re going to go to camp and get started," Peterson said. "When you want to negotiate, you know how to reach us, so give me a phone call."

Peterson said Dorsey had promised team officials he would be in camp on time. He has until 9 a.m. Friday to keep his promise.

"He promised me, and he’s going to lose his bet that he’s going to be here on time," Peterson said. "Glenn knows he needs to be here; I think Glenn wants to be here."
