Dolphins working on a trade for offensive tackle Branden Albert

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.

05 was his worst 19th. Espn only goes back to 2002.

I doubt it happens because Alex will probably play at a slightly above average level and whatever cracker ass left tackle we draft will be decent....

But Andy Reid can't turn a shit QB and shit LT into gold...that's an offense killer.

Unlike 99.999999999% of the people posting on Chiefsplanet these days, as I said in January, I'll wait until November to pass any judgement.

Sorry, but I think the deals Dorsey gave to Smith, Smith and Robinson were terrible deals.

The Sean Smith and Robinson deals were ****ing great.

Clay Smith is making 5.5m He's not making Elite money. He's a good number 2 corner.

He's probably inching towards 4.6 these days.

Richard Sherman doesn't have elite physical tools either, but he's still good. Not sure why that's relevant.

Whats the fun in that?

I actually expect Alex Smith and the offense as a whole to be incredibly efficient and relatively productive.

Until Smith suffers yet another concussion, thus missing substantial time. And the floodgate of excuses will open.

So people are making a big deal about Safety Kerry Rhodes being gay.

Did you miss when I posted that he ran a 4.43 at his proday?

This argument is dumb. You've been owned in every single Sean Smith argument since we signed him.

The PFF grade was the best weapon you had and even that was flipped on you.

No. I said he doesn't have elite physical talent. He doesn't.

He sucks because...well he gets beat a lot.

Please attempt to learn reading comprehension.
