Brandon Albert needs to prove that he is a probowl caliber or top 3 LT in the league to deserve the kind of money he is demanding. IMO, at this point in his career he hasn't proved that.
Yeah we can expect solid dependable play from him but I don't think he will never be in the mould of an Orlando Pace, Jonathan Ogden, Willie Roaf or Walter Jones. He is just not dominating enough or good enough to get paid like a top tackle in the league. It's clear to me that the value he is demanding doesn't reflect his performance. He would make a good example of a player that is simply overpaid.
I know a lot of people on this board love him but I think this is a reality that most of us need to accept. It bothers me to see that he is not flexible and only wants to play one position only. That's a sign of selfishness and not really contributing to being a team player by refusing to help out the team in any way possible.
I say franchise him again next year even if the price goes up for him and Dorsey should continue to be persistent and try to get what he can for him or else let him walk and continue to try and find Olineman wherever necessary.
