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.

25th in scoring his first year (1999), 29th in scoring this year. Not very impressive bookend seasons for the Eagles HC portion of his resume.

Sure it does. You're stating that despite his Pro Bowl nominations, Flowers is still "elite".

Regardless of you believe, the coaches and players still have a 2/3 majority versus the fans in voting.

SNR is going to get Joeckeled like a Joeckel.

When's the last time a team signed this many free agents and made the playoffs? And people now want MORE just because we freed up some cap dollars for one year?

I predict very bad things for this Chiefs team in 2013. We're going to be the most underwhelming best worst team in NFL history.

Probably don't have the money for that RT in that case given what Albert wants to be paid.

This is exactly the philosophy you try to build as a team. You're going full reerun.

Draft the best talent you can, fill the holes in free agency.

That's exactly what this team is trying to do right now.

I believe we're looking at an 8-8 season. But that's what you'd hope for one year removed from a 2-14 cluster****.

Would you prefer they sit on their hands and play the game as Pioli did?

Shocking prediction.

Direckshun · 04-17-2013, 10:13 PM

Exactly.

And save the Alex Smith compensation, none of the players have been signed to unreasonable contracts.

That's very different.

so he didn't get any bonuses for it? No enhancements? If so, good.

Joeckel's still a turdbag. And we're clearly going to draft Fisher. Not Joeckel.

That doesn't change your sins against Joeckel.

May Joeckel have mercy on your Joeckel.

True. Dan Jeremiah said there is a lot of buzz around the league in KC taking Fishet.

Joeckel is a sniveling old targ, and about as fierce as one. No true warrior fears Luke Joeckel
