...and follow it up by repeatedly saying they want to sign him long term.

Here's what I was told:

-Albert wants between 9-10 million per year on a multi-year contract.
-He will not switch to any other position
-The Chiefs view his contract ceiling as the deal that Jake Long just signed. If Albert would sign for that, he'd be a Chief.
-They have concerns based on the fluctuation of his team-demanded weight loss and then gain over the last few years that his body will hold up for a 5-year deal.
-Andy Reid wants more aggressive lineman. Now this would eliminate Joeckel as well and I think they like Fisher more for this reason.
-They are shopping him heavily, but want to get a deal done before they pick to keep any type of leverage (they are realistic that they don't have much - which is why you see the reports now they'd take a high 2.

Don't shoot the messenger.

There has also been pretty heavy discussion of moving Albert back to LG this year if they drafted his replacement. If they can't find a taker, that's where they want to play him.

No wonder he wants out. We're not going to do the right thing this draft anyway, so Albert should just stick to his guns and get paid for soldiering in such a shitty franchise by another franchise who will appreciate him.

Lets stop glorifying Albert here. The Chiefs are giving him 9.5 mill this year when he wouldn't have touched that in year 1 on the open market.

Well snap! If this happens plus along with the drafting of a rookie LT taking his spot HBO's Hard Knock's might as well set up shop.

If the Chiefs draft a LT at #1, won't that drive up the value of Albert in a trade? If all 3 top LTs are gone by #7, somebody like Miami will be left wanting, and probably much more willing to trade for Albert then.

I want more than a 2nd for Albert, but would be happy with a 2nd this year and a conditional 2nd or possible 1st next year depending upon whatever the **** they determine that on.

**RealSNR** · 04-15-2013, 03:41 PM

If I'm Green Bay, I trade my first rounder for Albert and get back something else like a 4th.

They're wasting Aaron's talents by loading him up with starting LTs like ****ing Marshall Newhouse.

Now that's a thought.

Messier · 04-15-2013, 03:46 PM

If they're offering what Long got he should take it.

mcaj22 · 04-15-2013, 03:57 PM

lol Albert wanting to be paid more than Duane Brown

get the **** out of here

his market was what Brown/Long signed for and this dude is commanding to be paid like a top 3 LT in the game. Take whatever pick you can get for him and move on

**BossChief** · 04-15-2013, 05:25 PM

So, they are willing to let him walk over less than a million difference per year?

Give him what he wants, but put clauses in there for health and draft Jordan or Geno.

This pick has to be used to improve the team. Period.

O.city · 04-15-2013, 06:18 PM

Meh. If they don't view him as their guy, don't think he fits etc, take what you can get and move on.

**BossChief** · 04-15-2013, 06:31 PM

I wonder if they would shift their thoughts on the usage of the top pick elsewhere if Albert were to agree to a long term deal.
