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 think did all of these things this afternoon.

That's the thing. Calls are nice. Actual deals are better.

Dorsey apparently loves meeting with players he won't pick and talking to teams he won't deal with. He probably took those calls, took in some offers, took a rain check on some tee times with executives, and then went back to masturbating to pictures of Joeckel using lard as lube.

Why would anyone trade up?

Probably turned down some good deals too.

You seriously think there's no team that wants to trade up?

Honestly, I don't think that any of them want to move to #1 unless we initiate contact and give them a good deal.

What player is worth it?

Any player that a team thinks their top ranked player will be selected before their pick. It's a buyers market right now.

That's not what the report was.

Teams called US about making a trade. I'd love to know what was said and likely turned down. If it was anything good, I'll be supremely mother****ing pissed, just like when Pioli supposedly had a trade down offer on the table that he rejected in 2009.

Messier · 04-24-2013, 10:02 PM

The players most likely to be gone after the top five are Joeckel and Fisher.

Angst usually occurs after teams start taking players off the board.

To trade out of the #1, I would take a 2nd from anyone in the top 10.

I am a cheap date.
