Dolphins working on a trade for offensive tackle Branden Albert

[ShowtimeSBMVP]

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.

Hmmm Geno and Albert or Joke and Nassib. Jeeeez that's a tough call.

You forgot the combination of Fisher and Geno.

I'm not including moonbat theories.

Admittedly, I haven't watched alot of him, just some things I noticed.


I'm just not a fan of his. Preference kinda thing I guess.

During the first part of practice, he was the starting RT and then shifted to LG later in practice.

I agree, Nassib is a very interesting prospect.

One problem: if Buffalo passes on him, then you have to pass on him, seeing how his old coach on a QB starved team passing on him is a big red flag.

True.

However, I think that they're trying to draft someone and then trade back up to get him. Entirely speculation, of course.

I still like Barkley if he were to be there.

Draft him, get him with a strength coach.

Admittedly, I've been pimping Nassib for quite some time and am higher on him than most, so there's that to account for.

I think I'd rather have Barkley than Nassib

He did it consistently this year. Here's one game of it.

That's his big knock is accuracy/touch.

Barkley was my second choice, but can you realistically see him or Geno falling to the second? Not me.

I think that's what they're doing also. Have your 2 from Miami, and 3A to go up in rd 1 and get Barkley/Nassib/Glennon

Here is something to think about. The top 3 lineman Joeckel, Fisher, and Johnson.

Johnson had Jones as his qb. He is a top 5 qb in this draft. His qb made him look good at times.

Joeckel had Nanziel as his qb. Heisman trophy winner. He made Joeckel look better than he is.

Fisher had who as his qb thata right. I have no ****ing clue. Fisher had to earn it himself and now hes being talked about going #1.

Another reason why Fisher should be the OT and not Joeckel.

Dude, stop spamming each thread with the same shit.
