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.

Stafford, Megatron, Reggie Bush and then throw Albert in blocking for them. Lions could rape on offense.

Backing up, there's a good reason the Chiefs-Dolphins trade talks are out in the open. That's usually the tell they're not going so well.

Hopefully we get that trade and take a Tight End!

Sanchez has been horrible for his NFL career. He's on borrowed time because of the guarantee money in his deal.

Jets can cut Sanchez after this season and owe him nothing.

Yup.... They're stuck with him this year ($17 million in dead money and an extra $4.3 million hit if he's cut), but cutting him next year would save them over $8 million.

Seems that way. They're the ones doing the talking, not Miami. RT @jords_mac: Chiefs getting desperate

We'll probably trade him for a 3rd.

Way to paint yourself into a corner, Dorsey.

Not really impressed by this front office's ability to make trades.
