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.

Jack Stack is good, but the best BBQ in KC comes from a gas station.

Exactly. Bradford had concerns coming out as well as Stafford. This draft reminds me kind of like 2008.

I agree. And this is coming from a huge Arthur Bryant's fan.

So that Dorsey can stick to is strategy of BPA?

I can see it now, Okay guys, we have our board set, it looks like Joeckel is the #1 guy.

But we have a problem, we have a veteran starter at that position. Anybody have any ideas?

This. Development can provide players, especially QBs, the chance to live up their potential. The downfall of a player, like Bradford, could arguably be attributed to rushing them into a starting lineup or changing offensive philosophies frequently

That douche will saying anything or take any side to get attention. Hell, he even flip-flops on an issue if he thinks the other side will get him more attention ... even if it's negative.

Taco Johns has been the best in the KC metro for pratically 20 yrs now - at least. .... err Whenever White Castle left.

OK J's has the best overall Q IMO. The Zman is ****ing legendary. Their burnt ends are great too.

I think J. Stack has the best brisket and their sides are awesome.

Bryants has great ribs.

But you definitely have to try OKie Joes.

Miami has some good food, but KC BBQ is among the best cuisine in the world...

Back to the topic at hand, building a franchise around a LT.

It's funny. Alex Smith gets that excuse, but a guy like Bradford who has had an equally shitty situation, doesn't.

If that's the case then why do you have Texas Tom's in your avatar?
