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.

Ok, so he won't be traded unless he takes less. That ****s him. He might as well lower his price and stay in KC.

I always knew B Albert was a smart man.

Well that makes it a little easier. Albert at LT this season and our LTotF Eric Fisher at RT for this season.

Nightfyre · 04-21-2013, 04:52 PM

LTotF as a first overall pick? You guys have ****ing lost your goddamned minds.

I like Stephenson at RT.

There have been reports that Dorsey really likes Jordan.

Albert said he won't play under the one year deal, sounds like he might have to.

Messier · 04-21-2013, 04:54 PM

I think the pick is Joeckel or Fisher, regardless of what happens with Albert.

penbrook · 04-21-2013, 04:54 PM

Bj Kissel believes the Albert rumors are all smoke and no fire.

Mother****erJones · 04-21-2013, 04:55 PM

**** taking a LT of the future number 1 overall. That's ****ing stupid. Need an impact player now at that spot. If you take anything for the future it's a QB

Nightfyre · 04-21-2013, 04:55 PM

Albert will not play under a one year deal. He will take the guaranteed money because his agent will tell him to take the guaranteed money. The agent will tell him to take the guaranteed money because he knows another back flareup will destroy any of Albert's value .

I know I sound stupid but I believe the pick will be Jordan or Geno.
