Albert has been vocal on twitter, NFL Network and anywhere he can cry about his contract, long term security, etc. He's completely different from a guy like Bowe, that is obvious. That's the type of person he is. You didnt see Bowe last year talking to other teams under the franchise tag or taking physicals with other teams only to be laughed at for contract demands. Bowe was under lock and key under that tag, nobody was talking to him. Whether a smoke screen or not. Albert has a really high asking price for his value. Albert, knowing how much he has left, is looking for a HUGE payday right now. Bowe was just looking to be paid based on his production with crappy QBs over the years. That is the difference. Albert probably wont even show until week 1. We will spend all training camp with a 2nd stringer playing LT, then Albert will sign right before the season starts or in the final week of preseason and what, people just think hes going to be in NFL game ready shape ready to protect our almost 30 year old injury prone QB? fat chance. |

It really shouldn't be that hard to get atleast a second in a trade down and still stay in the top 10.

QUOTE=mcaj22;9613713]id link the 3 options we could play at RT are already on the roster which, by logic, makes it not worth picking a guy at 1 to play RT but whatever
you'd have to think a Stephenson, Jeff Allen or Schwartz would stick at RT, rather then having to waste the number 1 overall pick on it[/QUOTE] I said i believe they want to keep Albert, but if his price doesnt come down, they probably wont. Then we will have scrubs at LT. And no offense but what you would like to think doesnt mean much in the grand scheme of things. |

yea how dare I think a top 5 rated LT in his draft class that we wasted a 3rd round pick on or the top rated guard in his draft class we wasted a 2nd round pick on that played tackle in college would stick at RT.
how dare that doesnt matter, getting value out of highly rated draft picks at their respective positions coming out. Logic, defies this place sometimes apparently |

Exactly. It's the NFL. Guys aren't buddy buddy anyway. It's a job. If the team wins they'll be happier than if they lose. But nobody in the front office should give a squirt about bad attitudes when they're 1-year from FA. Albert is going to play and play hard for that big contract. He'll be fine this year.

Since there's only a few days left, think they'll say who they're drafting in advance?

Albert should go to the RT position IMO if this plays out. And Albert has said he does not want to go RT. Probably because he knows the RT position does not make as much if he is let go at the end of next season. |

If you can't get Albert traded before the draft.....then go into the draft assuming that Albert will play under the franchise tag (which he more than likely will to make that $9 million). Draft like you already have a LT. If after this season....you can't get him signed....then either pick up a LT in FA or ****ing draft one. Or God forbid....find out this season if Stephenson or Allen can play LT. They both ****ing did it in college.

They royally ****ed up the Alex Smith decision and destroyed their draft leverage in the process. This is absolutely akin to what Pioli did in 2009. And my response then was simple - you'd better !@#$ing win. If you don't, it's on you. I'm done speculating at this point - the bottom line is that Dorsey and Reid had better !@#$ing figure it out because this is unquestionably a mess of their own making. They had a franchise LT on the roster and a chance to take the best developmental QB in the draft. Now they're looking at a roster surplus at one position with holes at others and they're down a 2nd rounder on account of it. They've filled spots with guys like Mike DeVito who serve no purpose in the modern NFL. So now they're limited on 1.1 because nobody truly believes Floyd is an option and they're up against the cap so they're trying to figure out what to do to free up space via Albert. Oh sure, they've made moves. They've spent some money. But I'm far from convinced that they've spent it well. You made this mess, gentlemen, now you clean it up.
