Dolphins working on a trade for offensive tackle Branden Albert

[ShowtimeSBMVP]

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.

Maybe he could improve to 16th? We need some average QB production at least.

Picking and choosing again.

Let's take a look at the rest of his body of work.

Completion %-1st in NFL
Yards average per completion-4th
TD's-Tied for 13th
QB Rating-3rd
INT's-(9 average for a full year) which is top 5 best among QB's

Also funny how Alex Smith is going from a run first offense (would have been 25th in passing attempts) to Andy Reid's pass first aggressive offense, so I bet he'll get far more yards considering his yards average per completion is 4th in the NFL.

You are so desperate to try and debunk this guy. Why don't you look at things objectively for once?

God this is just one big ****ing smokescreen.

Let it go. Either you're proven right and you'll have to chase Goatse to slup from Smith's nuts, or he's right and he'll have moved on to some other dumb shit before he even realizes it.

Either way you lose.

The phrase you're looking for is Cherry Picking

Whenever (if) the Branden Albert to Dolphins trade happens, a physical will be easy: Albert lives in MIA, is there now.

It's really nice of you to throw out meaningless stats, unless of course, they work against your primary argument in which the Chiefs, their players, coaches and new acquisitions, all suck.

He loves equating 300 yard games as some real benchmark for QBs.

If GoChiefs didn't post videos, he'd be on the same level as RoyR, except ole Roy managed to actually pull some tail in his early 20s.

So the Albert and Dolphin deal is still a possibility, and Reid misunderstood

Are you really this stupid?

It's really ****ing comical to watch you squirm like the ****ing worm you are because the Chiefs aren't taking Geno Smith.

The trade of Albert is a smoke screen?

Keep sticking with PFCentral for your football information. Your brain is fried.

[-King-]

So even Reid doesn't know what Dorsey is doing with Albert?

The Chiefs have an offer they like from the Dolphins. If Albert agrees to a deal with Miami, this is done.
