Only the Dolphins. Truly, only the Dolphins. Per ace reporter Armando Salguero, the Dolphins and Albert agreed to his release on Thursday morning, but the team has had an about-face due to "sudden and significant interest from at least one and perhaps other teams in acquiring Albert." It means the Dolphins will probably keep Albert on the roster through the start of the new league year on March 9. They are doing Albert dirty, not letting him choose his own team, and potentially severely depressing his value. Instead of having the market all to himself right now, Albert could end up having to fight for scraps in the second phase of free agency.

That's pretty foul. It would be one thing if they hadn't previously agreed to release him. I understand trying to get something for him but why wouldn't they have waited until they could trade him if that's what they wanted to do?
