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.

So the 49'ers and Dolphins (two of the most historic franchises in teh NFL) are raping us on trades.

Surprised?

Not so much...

It's definitely not elite.

Stanford Routt ran a 4.27 and was an inch shorter.

That's elite.

Can't imagine it's for both.

I also can't blast dolphin fans. Some idiots on here said they wouldn't trade a 3rd for Percy Harvin

The Dolphins have been shit. They also traded a 2nd rounder for AJ Feeley.

No....I'm suggest that they draft a LT in the 2nd instead of blowing 1.1 on it.

A 2nd round pick for a 29 year old LT is rape?

**BossChief** · 04-18-2013, 10:49 AM

You know what would be sweet?

Trade Albert for both of Miamis 2s...trade down from first overall and add another 2 and take BPA...especially if Geno, Manuel or Barkley are still there.

Start Stephenson at LT and let him develop.

The kid has real talent and a really good skill set for the position. If he had stayed in school for 2012, he would be in the talk as a top 10 player this year because he was a better player than Lane Johnson on that line.

Now, if they want to trade down into the teens while adding a second rounder for the move down and take Cooper/Wormack I'd be ok with that.

I also don't doubt that he isn't that fast.

Even so, running a 4.4 as a CB doesn't give you elite talent.

That's close enough for me, seriously and without a lick of sarcasm or any bullshit, good job.

I'd even be semi ok with that situation if we only got ONE of Miami's 2nd round picks. Worst case scenario is that they trade Albert for a 2nd and then take a LT at 1.1. Horrible.

If we end up with a #1 pick and 2 seconds, could we trade up past the #1 pick and get back into last year's draft?

You do realize Olinemen play well into their 30s right?

Technically yes, because we could trade for players that are on rosters now that were drafted last season. But it's starts backwards. Trading past #1 gets you Mr. Irrelevant
