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.

Wonderful.

That's Brodie Croyle.

That's Russel Wilson.

The Chiefs cant afford to wait any longer to turn things around. Clark brought these guys in to turn things around quickly before his fanbase dries up.

JFC thats depressing and awful. I mean I know we have sucked as I watched every one of those games, but to see it laid out like that is just disturbing.

You may have just ****ed up my whole day.

Good thing we are catering in rib eyes for lunch today, that may help.

These QBs could slide, I highly doubt it though. They might fly off the board in round 2.

That is all you need to know.

He's not The Guy. He's a stabilizer.

He'll have an opportunity to earn that extension though so he could still turn out to be The Guy.

Wilson slid because of his height in an excellent QB draft class.

Tell me which QB this year is going to be the next Wilson...

Amazing that in two short days both early first round picks from the 2008 class will no longer be with the team.

You get 9's and 10's and you get into the playoffs. From there we will see.

The Ravens won it all this year with Joe frickin Flacco. Who, imo, is a long way from Brady/Manning et al.

Brown got 22 million guaranteed in his deal.

Albert is on the franchise tag that is just shy of 10 million and it's all guaranteed.

Just with this years deal, they are almost half way there on the guaranteed money.

If the Chiefs' record negatively impacts your day/week/life/whatever in any way, shape, or form then I would suggest reexamining your priorities.

Its called hyperbole. It only truly frustrates me on Sunday's.

Joeckel says he knows where he is going...

I don't think you understand how many people actually get upset with a Chiefs loss. People, in the past, have talked about how they throw and break things when the Chiefs do poorly. I don't know you well enough to not know that you aren't one of those people. I took it at face value.
