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.

Fisher would play RT.

Aside from all the BS, it must be incredibly exciting to be that player, especially with all the drama attached. Im sure its cool if you knew already,ala Luck or whoever, but to get the call during the "ten minutes' and to be told t that moment you're going #1.

Its my favorite part of watching the draft, to watch people achieve their dream. Pretty cool stuff.

If the said player is slated for RT then I couldn't give a **** about his dream.

From a happiness level of 1 - 10.

Joeckel at #1: 1
Fisher at #1: 3
Jordan at #1: 5
any other pick that isn't a DL or OT: 6-8 (depending on the name)

Trade down to any other spot: 10

And equally annoying when it's your mom on the line.

"Hello?"

"Luke, it's your mom. Have you been picked yet?"

"Mom! No I haven't been picked yet! I've got to keep this line open! Gotta go!"

"Ok Dear, I love... " (click) "Hello?"

What if they trade down to #3 and draft Joeckel?

I still like Joe Thomas going fishing with his dad on draft day because it had always been their tradition.

Who fits that category for you? Milliner? Jones? Austin?

Emmitt Smith talked about that happening to him this morning. Said he was pacing around waiting for 'The Call", and the phone rang and everyone got all excited and...dun dun dunnnn..it was his brother. he says he just straight hung up on him.

**The Franchise** · 04-25-2013, 01:48 PM

My gut feeling is that we'll take Fisher at #1. The Jags will take Jordan at #2. The Dolphins will trade up to #3 to get Joeckel.

I disagree; if we dont trade BA, I think we go Jordan.
