Chiefs Dolphins working on a trade for offensive tackle Branden Albert - Page 193

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.

Andy Reid said this years group of QBs are solid.

Also said when its all said and done your gonna have some real winners in the QB class.

You're going to drown in a sea of shit that I will personally excrete.

Yea because it would suck if Alex had some success and you couldn't do that. It would ruin your entire season and sole reason to exist.

I hated the move, but no matter what he does won't be good enough for some around here. I hope to be eating heaps of crow.

Of course it would suck. If Claynus isn't complaining or pulling stats off PFF, or making gifs showing epic fails, what good is he here?

He has no interest in actually rooting for success because the Chiefs aren't building the team the way he wants.

I could understand if he came at it like SNR, DJ, Hamas or King who post logical rebuttals to why it was a bad move, but GoChiefs offers nothing close to what they do. He can't think on his own.

People equal some posters here that didn't get what they wanted so they are throwing a fit like a bunch of little kids.

Could you imagine the pain that it would create for him if Alex Smith and McCluster had stellar seasons.

Jason Cole is a real downer.

You have no ground to stand on.

This post is a dishonest response to TBG's statement.

2 days from the draft and John Clayton just reported he expects Albert to get traded, KC to take a LT, and Geno to fall to the bottom of the 1st round.

If we could somehow get Geno late in the 1st that would be sweet.

There is also belief Buffalo will take Nassib at #8 if they think he will be gone by round 2.

Suddenly there's been a bunch of people saying that about Nassib. It makes me think it's likely.

I have to say, I wish Geno Smith the best, but it would be incredibly funny around here if he kept falling.
