We could. The options aren't as slim as you'd think.

His demands can't be above value and there's no reason to move him. He's a top 10 LT...

Absolutely not. The season goes well enough you can get him signed or you let him go.

You have two options: A) Albert at LT and Rookie RT to be named for one year

or

B) Albert traded for a 2nd, his replacement drafted at 1.1 (with RT still a huge concern and the unknown of any rook coming in, at LT of all places, with a QB who takes a ton of sacks.)

Denver rookie QB John Elway, on Jack Lambert, after Lambert and the Steelers knocked Elway out of his first game as a pro (1983).
