Chiefs Dolphins working on a trade for offensive tackle Branden Albert - Page 224

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.

You would be floored if we got a 2nd and a 3rd round pick (1.1-1.12 swap) to move up 11 spots to the THE #1 overall spot?

The commish might reject the trade like in those yahoo fantasy leagues.

The Dolphins have 1.12, 2.42, 2.54, 3.77, 3.82, 4.111, and 2 5th round and 3 7th round picks.

How hilarious would it be if the Dolphins drafted a LT at 1.1 twice in 6 years?

Holy nuts.

11 picks.

No wonder they're getting antsy. Like, 4 of those picks are burning a hole in their pocket.

Do you not understand that this isn't the same as a fantasy league? This isn't known talent traded for known talent. Where have you been the past 2 months? There is no huge star that teams want, so you aren't getting anything near what STL got last year for their #2.

You said it will cost more than 12, 42, and 54. I don't think there is anyway the Chiefs can get more than that. I doubt they even get that.

I'd be happy with a 1st, 2nd and 3rd this year.
