Chiefs Dolphins working on a trade for offensive tackle Branden Albert - Page 338

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.

Chiefs will take LT Eric Fisher with the first pick in the draft, per source with knowledge of the team's plans. — @ProFootballTalk via Twitter

Looks like Branden Albert deal on hold. Apparently, Dolphins going to see how 1st rd goes. If deal happens told it'll be after 1st rd.

We're going to draft Fisher and then move him to quarterback. It's a brilliant plan.

The BA trade was nothing more than leverage play to get a trade done.

Sassy Squatch · 04-25-2013, 03:01 PM

All this bullshit talk about Dorsey doing due diligence needs to stop. He's been locked on both LTs since he got here. Trying to move Albert and having it blow up in his face didn't deter him. What a ****ing disaster of a draft.

You really believe this bullshit?

Truthfully believe he didn't explore other positions? Look at every player he could to weed it out? He hasn't been locked into anything.

Get ****ing real here.

nah, i wouldn't call it a disaster (at least for a few more hours).

way i see it, if the phins don't trade up to someone else in the first 5 picks, just makes what we will counter later in the draft when they have no other options at LT.

i hope a 2nd this year, and a 2nd next year.

small beans, i know. we hold the cards. not the phins.
