Why would another team agree to a tag and trade when they can just wait and sign him as a fa and keep picks?

Plus wouldn't they have to have a contract negotiated already? Would probably be for less than what he's tagged for. |

Albert is worth 8-10 mil IMO. Myself unless it's Willie Roaf I wouldn't because I'd spend that on some playmakers.

I really don't care about all the money, that's what Dorsey is here for. I just know we are better off as a team to NOT have to replace him.

Since Smith can be mobile, the value of a LT over a RT may be lessened somewhat. Though he is getting older.

Not at all. He was running for his life at times.

He was pretty decent at it. But if he has to do it more often(more, less BA) the succes rate could drop.

When did I say Albert was irreplaceable, zilla? He's a valuable part of this team; he's not irreplaceable, but he's certainly not something to be celebrated when he leaves like Matt Cassel or Kendrick Lewis (hopefully). I said fans around here don't give him enough credit for the quality of player that he is. He was by far our best offensive lineman last season, yet whenever a conversation about Fisher/Albert is had on this forum, it usually devolves into, "Branden Albert just isn't that great of a LT because penalties/was a guard in college/injuries/etc." And that becomes an overreaction to biting the bullet and letting him walk to justify letting Fisher take over.

But I think you're wrong on what people are overreacting to. I think most people are okay with Albert leaving because of Stephenson, not Fisher. |

Was the line successful with out Albert because his replacements were good enough. Or because the defense wasn't prepared for a mobile Alex. That had not shown up in KC prior.
I wonder if you(defense in this case) can over rely on film work and not adjust. |

Maybe Reid and Dorsey think Albert is just absolutely vital. I don't know. But if you look around the league at teams that are consistently in the playoffs, they don't sign many of their free agents. Signing Albert will eat a lot of cap space and lose us a 3rd round draft pick. Seems to me re-signing Albert means they have no faith in Fisher have the ability to start at either side in this league.

Let Albert walk.
