Chiefs Dolphins working on a trade for offensive tackle Branden Albert - Page 178

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.

I don't think he was. I just think they think his best football is long gone.

If you don't see the difference between Cassel and Smith the last 2 years than God have mercy on your soul.

Could do both/wishful thinking

If you look at Cassel's 2010, you could make a case that he was similar. But the more recent seasons, not so much.

O.city · 04-22-2013, 08:00 PM

I'm anxious if we'll hear in the next day or two if we are taking Fisher or Joeckel.

Cassel threw more TDs and averaged more yards per completion.

The Chiefs had a higher third-down conversion percentage.

Scary, isn't it?

Also to note, this is a "what have you done for me lately" league.

Smith has ascended in recent years while Cassel has swirled down the shit hole.

The biggest difference is that Cassel threw the ball more down the field, and Alex Smith played on a much better football team.

O.city · 04-22-2013, 08:02 PM

They've taken totally different career paths, and I think Smith legit improved.

I don't think it's a stretch to think he could be a top 10 -12sh QB in Andy Reid's offense.

And that has nothing to do with the fact that the 49ers improved as a team, did it? No, nothing at all. You ass.

Sounds like the Chiefs and Albert

He was always a better run blocker than a pass blocker and, from what I've heard, they think the injuries have robbed him of some of his game. With the team going to more passing and less running, looking elsewhere made sense for them.

Do you have a dick in your mouth? Play from both sides? We know the answer. No harm in being gay. You like the penis.
