Chiefs Dolphins working on a trade for offensive tackle Branden Albert - Page 366

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.

fins want Albert for the 54th pick and prob want the chiefs to eat his salary this year as well. **** the fins- Dorsey should cut off talks and tell them to go **** themselves after what they gave to the faders.

I agree
They have a huge hole at left tackle and I hope they get raped all season long.

Events always could change, but Dolphins and Chiefs are nowhere on Branden Albert deal. One source said he doubt a deal gets done.
