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.

He does it or he doesn't.

You don't owe me any dollar amount either way.

You'll just be less of a man for not knowing it ahead of time...

Curious how people declare Andy Reid such a brilliant Quarterback guy but then don't trust him when he doesn't want a specific QB.

Reid is the QB guy
Reid has the power

If Reid doesn't take Geno Smith then apparently our 'QB guru' doesn't think he's good enough.

Alex Smith needs to be a top flight QB and 1.1 needs to be spent on a player that clearly makes us better than the 2-14 team from 2013. The end.

His job is to make what he thinks is the best pick for the organization. It's not his job to take a QB in the first round because a bunch of posters on message boards can't get past the fact that there may not be a QB worth the pick this year.

He will or he won't.

Period.

Agree or disagree?...

Won't. The best A. Smith will do is pass for 19 touchdowns but will throw 18 picks.

End of story.

Deep down we both know it's not happening...

Well maybe over the length of his contract there is a slight possibility.

If there's nothing on the line then sure. Less of man? This has nothing to do with being a man but whatever.

Eh, that's not him.

He'll toss 19 TD's and about 7 INT's and everyone will say "It's not his fault...."

On what basis is anyone declaring Reid a QB whisperer?

While I do somewhat agree, it wasn't really a problem when Orton was here those few games.

Once again - he'd better be right.

He's elected to go with Alex Smith and Fisher/Joeckel over Geno Smith and Albert.

He'd better be right. Once again, this is the bed he's made for himself.

When he's gone in 3-4 years this will be the reason.

I thought you were fairly high on Alex Smith?

He better be right no matter who he drafts. If he's not then he's NFL. Not for long!
