I just can't wait until draft day. So we can finally end this madness.

The Miami Herald reports Branden Albert is in fact targeting more money than the Rams paid Jake Long.
Yahoo previously reported Albert wanted in the range of Long money ($8.5 million annually), but it sounds like he wants $9 million a year or more. In annual average, the highest paid left tackle in football is Joe Thomas at $11.5 million. The highest paid guard is Carl Nicks ($9.5 million). Albert's franchise tender is worth $9.828 million contract, so he may be using that as a starting point. Related: Dolphins Source: Miami Herald Posted this because they show how much Joe Thomas gets. Wow Albert man, you don't have a market.

I would like to make two unrelated points.
1st: The Albert-or-bust Patrol in this thread have simultaneously claimed that LT is too devalued to justify selecting at 1.1, and that Albert should be paid Top 5 at his position. That's a contradiction. 2nd: If Albert cannot get a deal done with Miami, you're not going to bring him down this offseason. Keep him tagged, threaten him with the tag next offseason (nobody is becoming a free agent that really warrants it other than him), and try to negotiate with him again. You're probably not going to get Albert to come down right now. Or come down much. You probably can get him to come down after taking a break from negotiations for the 2013 season. |

Why in the hell would Miami let Jake Long walk only to give up a second round pick for the right to pay similar money to a similar player?
Similarly, why would the Chiefs let Albert go for a second round pick only to spend the top pick in the draft on his replacement? None of this passes the smell test, IMO...which means it will almost certainly come to pass. Such is my lot in life as a Chiefs fan.

Branden Albert's price tag needs to 'come down significantly' for Miami Dolphins to remain interested

The 1.1 pick, meanwhile, shouldn't be pissed away. It has FAR more value than a handful of salary cap millions on an overbloated contract. |
