Although Charles is an unquestionably better player than Albert, their trade value is probably near equal.
That said, Branden Albert is a better LT than the majority of starters who have played in the last five Super Bowls. He's not a problem. If you are renovating a house you don't tear out five year old, perfectly good copper pipes and replace them with new ones, especially if the new pipes won't lead to a demonstrable increase in water pressure or flow.
Furthermore, why wouldn't Albert say he's only going to play LT? It's the most important position on the line and he does it really, really well. Would you move a hitter with a .920 OPS from the 3 hole to the 7 hole? You could, but what purpose would it serve? What is the point of moving Branden Albert to any other position on the line?
