Not that Dorsey is Pioli in any way, shape, or form, but we were told that when the two sides last offseason were totally far apart on a contract deal, all kinds of worthless and untrue allegations sprang up about how Bowe wanted Megatron money. It's very clear now that those reports were entirely untrue. Even if Bowe highballed Pioli because he didn't really want to play for the Chiefs that much, that's a pretty far cry from 100+ million to 55 million. Unfortunately the only thing that's going to settle this is to see what Albert actually gets, either from the Chiefs or a new team. |

Here's what I was told:
-Albert wants between 9-10 million per year on a multi-year contract. -He will not switch to any other position -The Chiefs view his contract ceiling as the deal that Jake Long just signed. If Albert would sign for that, he'd be a Chief. -They have concerns based on the fluctuation of his team-demanded weight loss and then gain over the last few years that his body will hold up for a 5-year deal. -Andy Reid wants more aggressive lineman. Now this would eliminate Joeckel as well and I think they like Fisher more for this reason. -They are shopping him heavily, but want to get a deal done before they pick to keep any type of leverage (they are realistic that they don't have much - which is why you see the reports now they'd take a high 2. Don't shoot the messenger.

There has also been pretty heavy discussion of moving Albert back to LG this year if they drafted his replacement. If they can't find a taker, that's where they want to play him.

If the Chiefs draft a LT at #1, won't that drive up the value of Albert in a trade? If all 3 top LTs are gone by #7, somebody like Miami will be left wanting, and probably much more willing to trade for Albert then.
I want more than a 2nd for Albert, but would be happy with a 2nd this year and a conditional 2nd or possible 1st next year depending upon whatever the **** they determine that on.

If I'm Green Bay, I trade my first rounder for Albert and get back something else like a 4th.
They're wasting Aaron's talents by loading him up with starting LTs like ****ing Marshall Newhouse. |

If they're offering what Long got he should take it.

...and follow it up by repeatedly saying they want to sign him long term.

Lets stop glorifying Albert here. The Chiefs are giving him 9.5 mill this year when he wouldn't have touched that in year 1 on the open market.

Well snap! If this happens plus along with the drafting of a rookie LT taking his spot HBO's Hard Knock's might as well set up shop.
