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.

I remember Marty nailing a the few reports that I saw this fall.

I trust him and the TBG.

Direckshun · 04-23-2013, 11:36 PM

Good to hear. Seriously.

Reid is a draft day trading maniac.

If anybody can trade out of the 1st overall pick to a team that ISN'T taking a QB with it... it's Reid.

Brochacho...our sources survived the Pioli fallout and I have sources outside of KC connected to KC. I think some of you forgot I ran NFLScoop about 12 years ago and have been the senior editor at Draftsharks.com fantasy football site for since 2002. I don't need a TV camera to pontificate conjecture like the other wags do.

I don't know who his sources are. Does anyone know?

clues:
- KC and MIA agreed on compensation for Albert
- Albert and MIA agreed on a long term deal
- KC did not pull trigger for reasons unknown to the public
- AZ and DET are interested in trading for Albert
- MIA inquired with OAK about trading up to #3 for a LT

And NOWWWWW

- MIA potentially interested in 1.1 for Joeckel (Ryan's former blankey, and the OC's former player)
- Mystery team #1 and Mystery team #2 have inquired about 1.1

Goddamnit, gents.... we have a market for Albert, and a market for 1.1. We likely can't have both, as moving back would remove us from top LT range (unless its with PHI at 1.4).

It comes down to:
1. Who will give us the most for Brandon Albert
2. Who will give us the most for 1.1
3a. Of those two options, which is best? Do it.
or
3b. If we move down from 1.1, and are still in the top 5 picks, we also trade Albert and net a **** ton of 2nds and 3rds.

I've always wondered how sources work. Do you contact them or do they contact you?
