Branden Albert trade won’t happen unless he lowers his price

Branden Albert trade won’t happen unless he lowers his price
Posted by Michael David Smith on April 21, 2013, 6:46 PM EDT
Branden Albert AP

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.

Look, man. You don't have to agree with my opinion...that's fine. But this is a business like any other. If I'm unhappy with what my job is paying me, I can voice it...but if I don't show up, then they fire me. He's under contract. He knew the terms of that contract when he signed it. He knew that the franchise tag was a possibility. They're paying him a ridiculous amount of money to show up and do the job that he (supposedly) loves to do.

As for your "**** off with this nonsense" comment...

So evidently, everyone in this draft sucks?

I think it's a great idea if that's actually what the Chiefs are going to do.

The Chiefs will suck, but at least their offensive line will be built like a brick shithouse
IF that's the plan the Chiefs OL could be the BEST since signing Roaf to play LT and moving John Tait to RT. THAT was one hell of an OL.

It isn't selfishness. It is business. Albert HAS to say he will only play LT; if he is moved to RT, he can be franchised again, but at a lower payscale because contracts for RTs are generally lower than contracts for LTs.

One team, I forgot which one, tried to tender a player as a TE even though he played the majority of the snaps last season lined up as a WR.

If you were told that you were the franchise player, but that you needed to take a cut in pay to play, you would be STUPID to accept such a deal.

There is no separate franchise tag for LT and RT. They're all tagged the same.

He is a productive little dude. Doesn't score many TD's, shows up for work, catches a lot of balls. But not really a difference maker.

Which is why you don't tag RTs.

So you are judging Dion Jordan on stats now?

Why don't you judge Geno Smith on stats?
