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.

No Albert and no 2nd rounder!

Hope for the best, expect the worst. Maybe you won't be so upset...na **** it I'll be mad!!

Good plan would be to let the draft play out tomorrow.

Dolphins don't want Lane Johnson and we know Joeckel and Fisher are off the board with the first 2 picks.

That way Miami is screwed and has no choice but to give up 42.

People at Arrowhead don't seem to think so.

No hole at QB. But whatever you need to tell yourself to get over the Geno butt-hurt.

I've not said they'd be shit. I haven't watched them. So I won't sit here and act like I know. But saying Geno isn't special because the "experts" say he isn't Luck is ignorant.

Miami picks at 12 and there are like 5 T's with 1st round grades. There are a ton of lineman in this draft.

On top of that it seems like 1/2 the teams in the top 10 want to trade down...

QB might not be a hole, but goddamn it's a large crack ready to bust open

Even if you are ok with Smith only an idiot would feel secure with what's behind him...

I agree but you can get a QB in round 3 or 4.
