Chiefs Duane Brown's New Deal: A barometer for Albert

**DaneMcCloud** · 08-16-2012, 02:21 PM

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...-53-4-million/

The team did not announce any terms of the deal, but John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reports that it is for six years and $53.4 million. That’s an average of just under $9 million per season, which is a pretty good price for a left tackle turning 27 this month and coming off a season that saw him named a second-team All-Pro. Per McClain, the extension kicks in after this season — Brown will make $2.08 million this year — and guarantees the tackle upward of $22 million.

-----------------------

So, Albert's probably looking at around $8 million per with guarantees around $18-20 million. I don't see how or why that shouldn't get done, assuming Albert has a solid year.

Get that shit done before the season ends, Scott.

Free up the tag for Bowe.

I'd easily pay Albert that.

if Pioli dicks around like he did Carr and now Bowe with Albert and doesnt pony this money up then I am done with him as a GM

Here's the deal - Brown said all along that he wanted to work something out now. It was in the Texans best interest to sign him now because next year his original contract, along with Schaub's and Barwin's, will expire.

He didn't dick around with Carr. He let him go. And he's also paid plenty of great players... Hali, Charles, DJ, Flowers and he gave a huge contract to a safety in Berry.

Who is to say Bowe isn't being unrealistic. I'm betting he is asking way too much..

he signed a draft pick...how special of Clark

Left tackles are expensive, but I'm not sure Albert has shown me he's worth $8M a year. He's solid, but not in the top 5. Show me something by game 8. I'd love to see him step to that next level in red and gold.
Bowe, on the other hand, is probably due about $8.5-9M a year. Again, show me you won't drop passes and will remain a solid citizen with RAC as your coach. The talent is there, just not sure about the professionalism.

What the **** was he SUPPOSED to do? He was drafted NUMBER FIVE OVERALL.

Did you expect Pioli to pay him like a 5th rounder?

Complete speculation with absolutely no redeeming value.

This all day long. Except Bowe seems to have grown up a lot since he was drafted.

Do you ever stop whining?

When will you idiots stop with this dumbshit patriot way crying act?

Things the patriot way doesn't do:

Draft a safety top 5 (Berry)
Draft a wide receiver in the first round (Baldwin)
Sign players to big money contracts (Hali, DJ, Flowers, etc)
Draft problem players (Houston, Baldwin)
Sign problem players (Hillis, Routt)

Some of you act like teenage girls with this shit.
