That would be like the Dolphins wanting a change at QB and then asking Ryan Tannehill to re-sign with the team, but move to WR. He'd probably tell them, "No, thanks. I'll either play QB or you can find me a different team."

I'm strictly telling you the info I'm e-mailed. Assuming this is true and I don't really have a reason not to believe it, do I blame Albert? No. I'd be pissed too.
But I don't blame the Chiefs either. This is a new regime that doesn't have to pay everyone or love everyone from the prior roster. They don't have to keep a player they feel they can upgrade because some feel he's a top 10 LT.
I don't love Albert like a lot on here, but I also think that if the Chiefs were drafting in the middle of the round and traded Albert, the outrage wouldn't be this bad. If Dorsey was a true idiot, he would have just let Albert walk the same day he franchised Bowe and some would have just overlooked it because they got Bowe locked up and they would have viewed it as one or the other. He did the smart thing and will eventually get the 2nd rounder back for him.
I get it. I'm no Joeckel fan either, but I'm willing to see how things turn out before I'm jumping back into the Save Our Chiefs mode.
