Albert too knows this, that is why he signed his tag quickly last yr and likely would do the same if he is tagged again. Chiefs cant afford that bluff. Other teams know that as well. Its like playing a game of high stakes poker with poor cards and everyone else knows your hand. You have to know when to hold 'em, fold 'em and walk away. |

SNR is not wrong about Albert's value as a "solidly good" LT, IYO. A "solidly good" LT is worth about 8 to 11 mil a year, IYO. But Albert is not worth 8 to 11 mil a year, IYO. Contradictory much?

At least I'm being consistent. I think they're low positional value in terms of draft stock and compensation. You don't think it's a little strange that the same people who fought against picking a Left Tackle (largely because of positional value) are suddenly acting like Albert is unreplaceable? |

My point is pretty clear.

Albert is worth 8-10 mil IMO. Myself unless it's Willie Roaf I wouldn't because I'd spend that on some playmakers.

I really don't care about all the money, that's what Dorsey is here for. I just know we are better off as a team to NOT have to replace him.

Since Smith can be mobile, the value of a LT over a RT may be lessened somewhat. Though he is getting older.

Not at all. He was running for his life at times.

He was pretty decent at it. But if he has to do it more often(more, less BA) the succes rate could drop.

Didn't we just franchise Albert and pay him the average 1-year salary of the top 5 tackles in the NFL? Wasn't that number under 10 million? I'm pretty sure it was 9.5 or something like that. If we pay Albert like a top 5-10 tackle, his average salary per year figures to be around 8 or 8.5 I would assume. I don't know the numbers or the feasibility of that, I'm just making guesses based on what little I know about salary caps. You're not willing to pay that in order to solve this offensive line garbage once and for all? So we can finally stop wasting so many 1st, 2nd, and 3rd round picks on offensive linemen who suck? That's a bargain, to me. But whatever. |

I don't want to spend $8-11M on a left tackle because you can use that same money on a playmaker The real bargain is if Stephenson and/or Fisher comes close to Albert level play. Based on how Stephenson played, no reason to think there will be a huge dropoff. And no, I don't have a problem with continually pumping draft picks into offensive linemen, if it means that a few years from now when Stephenson is up for a new contract, you aren't obligated to pay him $10M. |

When did I say Albert was irreplaceable, zilla? He's a valuable part of this team; he's not irreplaceable, but he's certainly not something to be celebrated when he leaves like Matt Cassel or Kendrick Lewis (hopefully). I said fans around here don't give him enough credit for the quality of player that he is. He was by far our best offensive lineman last season, yet whenever a conversation about Fisher/Albert is had on this forum, it usually devolves into, "Branden Albert just isn't that great of a LT because penalties/was a guard in college/injuries/etc." And that becomes an overreaction to biting the bullet and letting him walk to justify letting Fisher take over.
