***The Official Branden Albert Trade Thread***
 

Who wants him?

What do they pay?

Do it.

#54 plus a late rnd.

There is going to be alot of talent left at 54. No need to hold onto BA anymore.

Would IND trade for Albert. Stop laughing, I'm serious

DO IT NOW AND DRAFT GENO SO I CAN JIMP

:drool:

Don't think they can pay him.

Ok, what's going on with this?

Will be traded tomorrow for shitty 2nd rounder.

I'd rather they keep him and sign him to a long term contract. ASmith now has a WALL in front of him. He has no excuse to not throw for 3600+ yards and 20+ TDs.

No QB has any excuse to not put up those numbers with the O-Line we now have in KC.

Would be nice to get back in the 2nd and a shot at Geno and even get a first or second round pick in next years draft.

Why do we need to trade him?


Fisher was drafted to play RT.

A shot at Geno? If Jacksonville passes on him they are reeruned beyond all imagining.

What about Detroit? They have the 4th pick tomorrow, right?

Wonder if AZ would be interested

We'll probably keep him.

If we hadn't flushed our 2nd on Alex Smith i wouldn't want to trade him at all

Albert ---- Fisher at tackle sounds good to me

Billy Belchick could get a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th for him. And next years 1st.

He's the best LT left. I wouldn't be surprised if we get some bites.

I'm with you!

Wishful thinking but you never know?



I don't expect to get Geno & don't even expect them to draft a quarterback untill late rounds.

That just isn't happening. No one will give up a high 2 for Albert and give us a first or second next year.

#Chiefs GM John Dorsey says he talked to #Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland tonight, and agreed to resume Branden Albert talks tomorrow.

it's unreal

fyp

Billy is obviously Satan in human form

Only if a good qb is sitting there when the dolphin pick is up. If not just pay albert and have a kick ass oline.

price for Albert has gone up

Fins will look silly if replacing Long costs the same money they wouldn't pay him plus a pick.

To what? They don't have both 2nd rounders anymore.

Cardinals are probably out of the LT market at this point, dunno about the Lions, surely the Chargers are still in.


Probably all about the Phins.

How many teams can even afford to trade for Albert and still be under the cap?

Detroit?
Arizona?
Miami?
SD?

**** you. Yeah, let's make the draft even worse.

It's gonna be to the Dolphins for 50 whatever. Ireland stood strong on this one, didn't blink.

Actually Ireland was probably going to blink but he took that option away when he used the #42 on Dion Jordan. He left the Chiefs no option but to take the #54 but I'm sure KC will try for a late throw in pick as well now. At worst it will be #54 for Albert.

:thumb:

SD picked Fluker.

All I know is that Albert needs to go. He's a greedy prima donna that will refuse to play RT, and there is no way the Chiefs should waste Fisher at the RT spot, except maybe the first year if they absolutely have to keep Albert this year.

I think KC holds all the cards, not Miami. Sure, the 42nd pick is gone but that probably means the additional pick we get in the deal will be better. Albert for #54 and their 2014 2nd rounder.

He shot the hostage.

54 is like a third round pick. Barkley Geno and Nassib will all be gone

Might as well keep Albert now if the compensation isn't gonna be there. Just keep him this year play Fisher at RT and have a beast O Line.

Keep him for what? He wont be here next year. Who gives a shit about a 1 year OLine on a team that wont compete for anything of importance?

Miami's 2nd and a conditional 2014 pick.

Chiefs clearly aren't in rebuild they are trying to win now. No reason to get rid of one of your assets for less than his value unless they just feel his attitude is so bad that they want him out no matter what.

You're right. Lets not go for the #54 pick in this draft and instead take a 3rd round comp, or later comp pick, in 2015...

The Chiefs aren't in a full blown rebuilding mode, however they also aren't in a winning mode either. I don't care what Dorsey or Reid say in interviews. This team isn't winning with a mediocre "don't **** it up" style QB.

Other good players will be there. Can get a Matt Scott in the 3rd if those guys are gone.

There will good players all the way up to our 4th round pick. Albert for #54 and one of Miami's two 3rd round picks #77 or #82. We'd could have #54, #63, #77, #96 and #99.That's a lot of ammo to trade up with or just pick a lot of decent players.

Would be great to get back into the second round.

OH BOY

Scott will be there in the 6th

No, he won't

Didn't say I loved it, but I would still like them to take a swing at QB

Geno won't fall out of the top 10.

How would the additional pick be better. The third round is not better. If you get a 2cd next year then that is still equivilant of a 3rd this year. So no we won't do any better unless it is for a 1st rounder next year.

He's going to be our RT. I've almost changed my mind and think that maybe we should trade for Albert now. He's the best LT available at this point for sure.

Please.

Dorsey went from holding a variety of different trade cards last night to holding nothing and grasping at anything like a crack whore.

We NEED this 2nd round pick here. There are so many good players available.

Yeah, but our GM keeps reiterating that he will build this team through the draft. I don't know if that means he will trade draft picks or not though.

I still say keeping him and letting him play through the tag is our best option if we can't do any better than MIA's #54. I'd rather have him at LT for a year, then let him walk and get the comp pick as opposed to helping the Dolphins and taking less than he's worth. MIA basically told Dorsey **** you, we'll trade our higher 2nd and you're going to take #54 and like it.

That's what I think is being discussed. We might give them a middle round pick as well.

I'd hold out for the 2014 1st. The asking price doesn't go down because they didn't pull the trigger. Keep him if they won't part with that. I doubt we'll pull that off, though, judging by the way we got fleeced for Alex Smith and the fact that we didn't move at all yesterday.

I agree with this. Especially after they made a deal with Oakland, Miami can eat shit. Unless we can totally rape them, I say keep Albert or deal him to somebody else.

I say F Albert & make him ensure this shitty season with the rest of us.

I don't think anyone will give a 1st for Albert so if that's what we ask for then we're keeping Albert. I'd just as soon move on now. I've posted it more then once but Miami has two 3rd round picks. #77 and #82. #54 + either one of those picks would be fine by me. We need to get it done before the 2nd round starts though in case we want to try and trade up for a player/QB. And we'll have plenty of ammo to trade if we make that deal.

But to draft a RT @ #1 overall?

That's why I think Albert is still going to be gone. You don't draft a RT at 1.1

Well it's obvious all the Geno supporters were dead wrong and in a draft so devoid of talent, who else would you take at the top?

(Not considering a trade down since no one wanted to give up value to move up)

Everyone keeps saying this like playing RT for a year means you drafted a RT.

All the Geno fans were on board with drafting him and sitting him for a year or so. Does that mean I could rant about how the Chiefs wasted 1.1 on a backup QB?

A lot of teams need a LT.

I guess the packers drafted a backup QB when they took rodgers

I think this is the option I would be checking out to see if there is any interest. Stafford has taken a beating early in his career, and I would have to think Albert would be a better fit at LT than anything available at this point in the draft.

Signing Albert to a long term deal means that our O-line is set for the next six years--not only set, but will probably be the best O-line in the league. With most of our pro-bowlers hitting their prime now, that is a long time to make significant runs at the Super Bowl.

Keep Albert, draft Bostic (unless by some strange stroke of luck Cyprien is still there) with the 3.a and just keep loading up year after year after year. We have the foundations for a dynasty in place--lets take advantage of it.

You are looking at it wrong. Forget the Dolphins. Do you really think the Chiefs FO thinks wether or not they wanna screw over the other team in this deal?
They have to do what is best for the Chiefs! A 2nd rd pick this year getting his salary off the books or keeping the $9.8 on and a 3rd comp (late) next year?

If BA is staying long term fine, but I doubt they drafted Fisher to play RT forever.

Or hold onto him until the first injury of a LT during training camp(s). The Chiefs might have more leverage at that time, although the pick would be in next years draft.

He's not signing here long term. If he did, it wouldn't be to play LT

Consider what team we are talking about here. Quite possibly the most cursed team in the history of the NFL.

trading Albert is not going to get us Geno Smith so people just need to deal with it.


the bitching and moaning about the Fisher playing RT for a year is beyond stupid too.

This. I'll be epic ****ing pissed if it is 54 and some other junk. It needs to be 2014 #1 and maybe even 54.

I think they are waiting until pick 54 to see who is left on the board. The decision will likely come then.

Playing RT for a year is fine. It's the suggestion that we sign Albert to a long term deal and keep him at LT while fisher stays at RT for years is what's dumb

I seriously doubt we will sign Albert to a long term deal

He play a year on the tag and get traded next year unless Miami or something other team gives good trade value.
