Chiefs Dolphins working on a trade for offensive tackle Branden Albert - Page 318

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 Ireland is scared...the guy has to know if he screws the pooch in this draft he may as well update his resume.

No, no it wouldn't.

Peeholi really kind of screwed us with his first rounders the past couple of years.

I was thinking more of Dorsey. He was heavily hyped coming out. Remember "The next Warren Sapp"? He utterly failed to live up to any of that hype. We all knew Jackson was a huge mistake. So far we are 0-2 on LSU d-linemen. Now we might have had more success with Brockers or Mingo, who knows. Just our track record with players from there is not good.

Shut the **** up media and let Ireland think he's a mastermind.

I get your point for sure, but he's a businessman. They need a LT pretty damn bad. If they don't take BA or move up, they aren't getting a top tier LT and he knows it. Can't help but think KC is in the driver's seat.

Nassib to Buff makes sense, just because of their new HC.

People are talking Manuel to Philly...good God this draft is going to be all over the place!

caligula · 04-25-2013, 08:22 AM

Confident we will get a trade down?

@Edwerderespn: Chiefs GM John Dorsey says he and Andy Reid in 100 percent agreement on who to pick No. 1. No public reveal until on clock for trade poss.

@Edwerderespn: GM John Dorsey says he's not giving Branden Albert away and Joeckel-Fisher decision wont be influenced by whether Albert traded tonight

@Edwerderespn: GM John Dorsey told me that almost nobody knows who will be the No. 1 pick _ not even his own wife. I assume she does care or at least will

I'm confident we will get ****ed somehow. Most likely by ourselves.

In other words Miami pays the price or they don't get their LT
