Albert's a good player. He's a good tackle. He's not average. He's solidly good. He's a veteran presence on the line, and he was by far our best offensive lineman on the team last year.
Yes, the contract is the key, but this team does NOT get better by ditching him. At least not in the short term. If he can be kept, then he absolutely should.

I agree.
But, similarly to our guys who've been paid, he has to play to whatever contract we would potentially give him. If he wants top 5 money, that complicates things a little.
Our big contract guys have to start playing to that contract
