Chiefs Dolphins working on a trade for offensive tackle Branden Albert - Page 298

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.

You are too ****ing stupid to see the double standard. Flacco was one of the worst playoff rated Qb's in NFL history before this season idiot.

0 this time around in the playoffs. Flacco's defense was terrible.

You're done on this Flacco argument, dude. Go home.

Attempt to diffuse situation.

Can we be fwiends?

**DeezNutz** · 04-24-2013, 08:10 PM

I would gladly have traded the #1 this year and next for Flacco.

The Dolphins are supposedly shopping Davone Bess and looking for a mid-round pick in return. I would be delighted to get Bess as part of a package in an Albert trade.

If QB A throws the ball for X amount of yards per attempt and it equals Z.

Its still more than QB B attempting to throw it farther per attempt but throwing it for less per average than X.

Too much for you to calculate. I know.

I'd give up this whole draft, at this point, for Joe Flacco.

That includes Alex Smith.

They don't have the holes the Qb's have.

I'd love to come out of this thing with Fisher, Minter and one of the top 4 Qb's.

Honestly don't understand this point of view at all. Mr holy grail of draft opinions, Mike Mayock said after Geno's pro day, that based on talent alone, Geno Smith is a top 10 prospect.

How is a QB who is worth a top 10 pick, not worth the number one pick overall?

That would be bigger mistake than drafting a LT and that will be played out soon enough for you to see.

I recently heard there wasn't a single franchise QB in this draft. Not one.

Who are you to believe?

What do you think won the Ravens a Super Bowl this year?

Ray Lewis's pre-game yelling?
