Chiefs Dolphins working on a trade for offensive tackle Branden Albert - Page 227

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.

If this goes down and we pick Cacao Schlong at 12, Dorsey is the greatest GM in the history of the NFL.

Write that shit down. I'll go full homer for that balla ass GM.

I can't do it anymore. I have to at least have some ****ing joy over this draft. I'll be happy until we pick Joeckel and then I'll take a vacation for a while.

Honestly, if Dorsey/Reid can get out of 1.1, that'll be an accomplishment by itself.

I'll be pissed, but I'll stay here. Might be a bit amusing to watch this place burn lol.

Another one.

@SaveOurChiefs: The Chiefs are ready for draft. They are so prepared for it unlike other years. Sure, players play but the homework done this yr is amazing.

I don't know who his sources are. Does anyone know?

Go shove a hedgehog up your nose.

I'm having draft fun for the first time in weeks

Hammock Parties · 04-23-2013, 11:17 PM

That's right, it feels good to get excited about our balla ass GM for once.

Love me, SNR.

SOC is Clay and teedubya.

I don't know who their sources are, but Clay has a past relationship with Nick Athan, an infamous prognosticator who's swung and missed a time too many to be reliable.

However, Athan has sniffed out smoke before. He can just never get the fire right.

**** me runnin', I hope this is true.

I knew there had to be a reason for the hold up on the BA to Miami trade.

clues:
- KC and MIA agreed on compensation for Albert
- Albert and MIA agreed on a long term deal
- KC did not pull trigger for reasons unknown to the public
- AZ and DET are interested in trading for Albert
- MIA inquired with OAK about trading up to #3 for a LT

And NOWWWWW

- MIA potentially interested in 1.1 for Joeckel (Ryan's former blankey, and the OC's former player)
- Mystery team #1 and Mystery team #2 have inquired about 1.1

Goddamnit, gents.... we have a market for Albert, and a market for 1.1. We likely can't have both, as moving back would remove us from top LT range (unless its with PHI at 1.4).

It comes down to:
1. Who will give us the most for Brandon Albert
2. Who will give us the most for 1.1
3a. Of those two options, which is best? Do it.
or
3b. If we move down from 1.1, and are still in the top 5 picks, we also trade Albert and net a **** ton of 2nds and 3rds.
