Albert may not be done here !
Branden Albert, Chiefs hoping to work out contract0By Chris Wesseling
Around the League Writer Published: Feb. 22, 2014 at 12:08 p.m. INDIANAPOLIS -- Despite rampant speculation to the contrary, the Kansas City Chiefs have not decided to let left tackle Branden Albert walk in free agency. General manager John Dorsey told NFL Media's Steve Wyche on Friday that the Chiefs are still hoping to work out a deal for Albert before free agency begins in March. Dorsey declined to say if the franchise tag would be an option should the sides fail to reach an accord. Because he was tagged last year, Albert would merit a 120 percent raise on his $9.828 million contract from 2013. More proof that Albert remains in the team's plans? Dorsey told reporters at the NFL Scouting Combine on Friday that 2013 No. 1 overall draft pick Eric Fisher is still penciled in as a right tackle, not a left tackle. Albert is one of this year's top 10 free agents. If he's kept off the market, tackle-needy teams such as the Arizona Cardinals will be disappointed. As for quarterback Alex Smith, Dorsey confirmed to Wyche that an extension is on the agenda, but there is no rush to complete a deal. Neither Albert nor Smith can be blamed for the Chiefs' late-season collapse. This offense scored 35 points in five of their last seven games, including four games with more than 40 points. |

I just don't see it happening. No way we can afford it if we want to shore up FS and WR.

What good is gained by shoring up free safety if they create a hole at LT in the process? What spot is tougher to fill with competent play?

He actually did appear solid at LT and RT. Lewis is done and apparently forever injured...

As far as WR goes. Someone will have to restructure like Hali or Berry. That truly is a position of need, more so than FS imo...Hopefully Maclin can come cheap on an incentive based deal. Get Chase Daniel on the recruiting committee! Chiefs are what...$6-$7M under the cap?

I would hate to think what this would do for Fishers confidence if we were to re-sign Albert after he was supposedly out the door. We can't be hurting peoples confidence in KC.

If he doesn't start playing better, who gives a shit about his confidence?

I would hope this is true. At the very least, they'll bring in competition. I doubt the FO wants to depend on what is essentially a rookie with little pro experience and injury issues. I'd be shocked if they didn't address the FS position through FA.

Good thing for him he didn't get traded to the Fins. Frat Albert would be hard to live down.
