No way.

Whenever you can trade a young, high-quality player for the possibility of drafting his direct replacement, you simply have to make that move.

Albert's back better be ****ed.

so they are trying to use Albert to recover the cost of Alex Smith?

Trying to undo the damage of the trade for Alex Smith.

So this is how they are trying to get their picks back from the Alex Smith trade.

Or you could have just NOT TRADED FOR ALEX ****ING SMITH!

Alex Smith for Brandon Albert? WINNING

I don't mind this at all. I think that is more than fair. I think we overrate Albert a bit...I think he's solid, don't get me wrong...but he's not a world beater and he is coming off an injury.

I think people need to settle down on this board.

It's the impending waste of the #1 overall pick that's even more egregious than throwing away a high-quality, young LT.

Just differing levels of stupid, and there's no way of justifying it.

Completely agree with you :toast:

Back Spasms dude.

Not really - why not keep your high-quality young player and pick another player that will IMPROVE your team NOW, rather than draft a player just to replace what you lost?

The reality is, we dont know what impact any of these moves will have until the season starts or a year or two down the road. If the Chiefs start to win games, thats all that matters.

Yeah, because giving up 1 whole sack in 13 games is awful.

Overrated.

If this happens we went from a questionable quarertback and LT situation to now a completely solid quaterback and LT situation. Id say Reid and the boys are getin' r dun!

Why? They are just delaying the inevitable! I hope they have some kind of magic they pull out of their ass, because out of all the ok moves they have done, they have done 1 bad move and 1 potentially bad move! I wouldnt mind so much about bad moves here n there, but when its at the 2 most important positions on the offense it makes ya worry.

more standing pat

we have made very few improvements this offseason, just switching out similar pieces.

Take both of the dolphins 2nd rnd picks. I would be fine with that.

Andy Reid and John Dorsey not married to Albert. This happens all the time in the NFL when a regime takes over.

under your name you just need to put the word professional board troll! lol

Meh. You never know with large dudes...Albert could simply just be done for all we know.

Either way...getting a 2nd out of a guy we all figured to be gone is no big deal. That's fair value for Albert.

If we draft Joeckel at #1 it'll suck...I still want to trade down. But I'm not going to freak about trading Albert. It's whatever.

surely it isn't for any second round and any fourth round

It has nothing to do with "whose player" someone is and everything to do with blind stupidity, just like trading for Alex Smith.

LMAO

No f-ing way they get that much for Albert.

But I get it. It's negotiation.

Ask for a 2nd and then some.... Hope you settle on just a 2 for him.

and as much as I'll hate it, I'm going to assume Joeckel would be an upgrade to Albert if it happens...at least he better be.

but I'm not going to fret about something that hasn't happened...I still assume we're going to trade down. If we don't, it'll be disappointing.

Alex Smith in Reid and Dorsey eyes was the best QB this off-season. Sorry they don't like Geno.

Joeckel better be a top 5 LT.

Every time he gets bullrushed and gets Alex Smith killed.....I'm going to laugh.

If they must.....

Trade Albert for a 2nd this year and a 3rd next year.
Trade down to allow Buffalo to get Geno for a 2nd and 4th this year , a 1st next year.

Draft Fischer.

Profit.

Use the three newly acquired picks to address WR, OLB/ILB, S.

Profit again.

Dude not getting that. Miami will just draft a LT. Not gonna give Albert 9m a year then give up 2 2nd round picks when they can just draft a LT.

Then no dice.

So what you want Albert to play this year and leave next year and get nothing?

:LOL:

Post of the year

This.

People need to realize he's just not part of the long term plan. They're taking a LT high and moving on.

sounds fun, I hope you enjoy yourself!

Dorsey is making a mockery of the rest of the NFL. Work em man! Get it while the gettin is good

I will. It'll be just like the Matt Cassel years. Every time Cassel got into the fetal position....I laughed.

i keep waiting for some profit

so far we are just spinning wheels

Call the Colts. I'll take their 1st round pick this year for Albert. They need a LT to protect Luck. Castanzo sucks.

If they trade Albert and trade down a few spots and still get the guy they want+ all the extra picks , thats pretty winning IMO.

Tag him again next year.

Agree 100%

Has a team ever traded a LT for a 1st round pick?

Honestly I can't think of an occasion.

What can we get then? What team is gonna give up something for him?


Miami's 2nd this year and next year is my guess.

I don't see any team in the league giving up a first for Albert. Just don't see a team giving up A First and giving him 9m a year. When this draft is loaded with LT.

Well alot of peole think that trading LTs and giving up 1.1 in the process is a waste of assets. I tend to agree. I'd like to ask them why they don't want to keep Albert? Maybe if I had an explanation as to why perhaps it'd make some sense but as of right now this make little sense.

Five LTs in the first 40 picks.

Andy Reid didn't draft Albert this happens all the time when a new Regime takes over.

This is a losy market for LTs so we should trade our away now so we can minimize the value.

Agree.

I mean if I was in charge, I would certainly have done things differently.

Albert long term deal, don't trade for Alex, draft Geno.

But clearly none of that is happening. Seems to me we're going to draft a LT, trade Albert for a 2nd and go forward.

I get it that people are frustrated but at some point have to decide to either accept it or move onto another team. (this thought is more in relation to still b#tching about Alex Smith being our starter)

No I want to sign him to a longterm deal.

But if we are talking about trades...I don't want to advertise what we will take for him.

I feel we ****ed ourselves over with how we handled Cassel's release. We were supposedly trying to work out a trade, but it was known that we would release him...so why the hell would a team trade for him knowing he is going to be released. At worse, a team would get into a bidding war with another suitor. We should have played our hand differently as if we were working out a new deal (reduced/backup salary) if we couldn't trade him.

If they are going to trade Albert...it better be done a lot better than when we were going to 'trade' Cassel.

"**** a 2nd. We want will only take a 1st. Or go **** yourself." -Dorsey with a possible trade suitor

The Colts have zero chance of grabbing one of the top 3 LTs in this draft.

Name the last time a franchise tagged offensive lineman was traded for a 2nd round pick following the hiring of a new HC & GM.

So that makes it the right move?

It really doesn't matter what move they make, in your eyes it's the right move. Stick to twitter

Buy high - sell low, baby!

He's gone after this year. Chiefs wont tag him in 2014 at 11.5m. Chiefs Cap look's awful in 2014

Please provide some tweets of a new regime coming in and purposely flushing a young, high-quality tackle just to draft another tackle, hoping that he can be AS GOOD as the guy who just walked.

If you mean that new regimes often make hasty, incredibly stupid decisions, then, yes, I agree.

Dude i cant even keep up with you. How many times have you flip flop this off season?

Until they prove otherwise it's a terrible move and wastes our teams assets. And I've watched the NFL for ever pretty much and I don't need to be told what happens all the time. Thank you.

We're just trying to just keep this team as good as it was last season. The new coach and GM don't want this train to go off the tracks.

Give the guy a contract maybe.

Our off season/draft is going to be trading for Matt Cassel 2.0 and then drafting Albert 2.0. We're doing nothing to get significantly better next season. These don't appear to be the moves of a team that wants to win a Super Bowl any time soon.

His cap number would be less than $11m if tagged in 2014. Stop making up garbage. JFC if it's not someone else's tweet your posts are full of stupid.

I haven't flipped on anything. They've made some good moves and some bad ones. This would be a bad one



And it's easy to keep up with you. We all know whatever move they make, your good with it

Tag him. Play the year to prove that the back isn't a problem, then sign him to an extension. This really isn't too ****ing difficult.

The cap, as it's always been, is a farce and something that can be managed.

This.

You do know it takes 2 sides right? No one here knows what Albert is asking for. Maybe the Chiefs don't think Albert is a 9 to 10m a year LT.

It'll be wonderful to find out that Reid has no clue what he's doing when it comes to building an offensive line.

And we know that's what he's asking for?

O.city what if we traded Branden Albert for a 2nd and next years 2nd/3rd and traded our 1st pick to a team in the top 10 and got Eric Fisher or Lane Johnson + another 2nd + next years 1st?

No way you can't not like that move.

It's ok. twatter-boy will be here to gargle Reid's balls and tell us it's a good move.

They wont get a top 3 tackle in this draft. Joeckel, Fisher and Johnson will all be gone by then

Pick 1.1 and Branden Albert for Joeckel and Alex Smith. LMAO

It's the best of a worst case scenario. You still traded Alex Smith for Brandon Albert.

:deevee:

It takes two sides really? Who would have known?

What if we kept Albert, traded with Buffalo, recouping a second this year and a first next year?

This frees us up to take whomever, including a pass rusher, Milliner if he drops, etc. Hell, you'd have to give serious thought to Austin or Eifert.

I'd prefer not to trade away good young players only to have to replace them with a top 10 pick.


I'd rather keep Albert and trade back and take a pass rusher. IMO we overvalue picks around here quite a bit
