Dolphins working on a trade for offensive tackle Branden Albert

[ShowtimeSBMVP]

Branden Albert trade won’t happen unless he lowers his price

The much-discussed potential trade of Branden Albert from the Chiefs to the Dolphins doesn’t appear likely at the price Albert is currently seeking.

Although the Chiefs and Dolphins can probably agree on compensation — the Dolphins sending a second-round pick to Kansas City — the hangup is that Albert wants the kind of money that the Dolphins aren’t willing to spend. Specifically, according to Jason Cole of Yahoo! Sports, Albert wants between $8 million and $9 million a year on a long-term deal.

In other words, Albert is looking for the same kind of contract that left tackle Jake Long got from the Rams — the very contract the Dolphins wouldn’t give Long, which is why he left Miami for St. Louis.

If the Dolphins weren’t willing to pay Long that kind of money, it’s hard to see why they’d be willing to give up a second-round draft pick for the privilege of paying Albert that kind of money. So the Dolphins may need to look elsewhere for a left tackle. And Albert may have to settle for playing this season for the Chiefs, making $9.8 million, and hitting free agency next year.

I've had Dion Jordan going to JAX for a long time. However, I've talked to several GM's/Personnel Directors that expect JAX to take an OT

God, I hope the Chiefs go with Fisher and then Joeckel is the one to go to Jacksonville

Colin Klein /morons a few months ago

NOW I see exactly why people think you're the stupidest poster on here. You have absolutely ZERO clue about the Jags and no one else outside of Jacksonville does either. I guarantee we go defensive or Geno Smith. Case Closed nitwit. So this nobody talked to OTHER TEAMS PDs and they came up with that brilliant deduction? . That's like the Chargers PD telling us the Chiefs will get EJ Manuel with 1.1 and you taking it like gospel. Do you understand how ridiculously stupid that sounds? This dude didn't even say he talked with people within the Jags own organization. YOU ARE THE STUPIDEST POSTER IN CP HISTORY. Badgirl is a genius compared to you. Mother of Achilles you are dumb!

Eat a bag of dicks. Your tire fire of a city is just keeping the jags warm before they move to Los Angeles... you want to double down on shitty spread QBs, be my guest and draft Geno to team with Gabbert.

I may not know a lot of things, but to talk about a team in my own backyard like you know more is the epitome of ignorance. There is no intelligence to be had in your post. And I'll leave it at that.

Wow pulling at straws now aren't you? You obviously didn't actually go see exactly what he said to understand the context of those perfectly picked out quotes did you? Idiot.

[nychief]

Eric Fisher is going to make a lovely LT for Gabbert.

What year is this? No such thing as time or space... What? Because you get local sports radio you have more insight? Horse shit. You know nothing more than anybody else with internet access.

Jacksonville has been on the outs with the league since that embarrassment of a super bowl... when the entire country saw saw it for what it is... ugh. As soon as the LA stadium is built you guys can go back to being college football fans...

You are just hella ignorant. I can't repel ignorance of that magnitude. We canned our idiot GM, we aren't the same organization, although the same can't be said for your team. The reality is you ARE going to get a LT with 1.1 and after that you don't know jack crap about any other team. I'm done talking to someone who hasn't watched a single Jags game outside of ones against KC and maybe even Indy last season.

Nobody watches jags games. They're a C-level franchise that shouldn't exist to begin with. Might as well have awarded a franchise to Wichita.

That was unnecessary.

The Chiefs haven't allowed Miami to have any direct contact with Albert. That includes a physical, but it's not limited to it. According to Mortenson, Miami wanted to bring Albert in for a visit, I guess to try selling him on signing there, and Dorsey said no because nothing had been agreed to.

Not only is that a denial that anything's been agreed to, it's just common sense that Dorsey wouldn't deny that request if they had worked out the trade. They would give Miami permission to do whatever was needed.

You can believe whatever you want.

Why so?
