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.

Ain't happening according to rotoworld.

Quote:

A source tells the Palm Beach Post that the Dolphins don't think LT Branden Albert is worth a second-round pick.
GM Jeff Ireland is willing to pay Albert the $9 million annually he wants, but he has to draw the line somewhere. Perhaps a third-round pick will get this deal done by the time Day 2 of the draft starts on Friday night. Note that the Dolphins could have had Jake Long for $8.5 million annually -- and wouldn't have had to surrender any draft picks. NFL.com's Steve Wyche reports that the trade talks resumed Thursday morning. Apr 25 - 10:00 AM

I want us to try and get a franchise QB every year we don't have one. Instead we tied ourselves to a mediocre QB for the next two-four years. Our new management appears to have the same blueprint the Chief's have had for the last 30 years. Never draft and develop a QB. Always trade for a mediocre to above average QB you don't have to develop yourself. It has led to 30 years of mediocrity. If we do it for another five years, it will be five years of failure.

So, would ya?

Nope. No Barkley. No Geno. No quarterback in this draft.

Why...because I don't believe Flacco is elite?

He isn't.

if you can't expect a sb this year then why waste two good picks getting a qb to win more. If you trade two high picks for a qb of course there should be strong expectations. If we aren't expected to win now then don't blow picks on a qb. Draft one and use this year to develop. You are arguing both sides to fit your argument. We won't win this year and you can't expect to yet we traded picks for a qb because nobody in the draft can win this year. Doesn't make sense.
