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.

Only reason to move up for those 2 seconds for our 3rd, is that it might give you more ammo if you want to move up for someone.

But yeah, I'm taking option 1.

The Ravens won a Super Bowl with a castoff LT they picked off the garbage heap.

Jonathan Ogden too.

Ok, there we have it.

Whoever we pick at 1, has to be Jonathan Ogden good.

He's trying to squeeze them now that he knows the contract has been agreed to. The Dolphins have pinned themselves in a corner.

so say #2 happens

what's everyone's hope for #42 and #54? (assume we drafted jokeall/fisher at 1)

I guess, but not much more ammo than the 3rd would've given you.

Again, it's only 9 spots. Everyone oohs and ahs over the round, but it's that number in parenthesis that really matters, especially once you get past the first round and the contracts start to even up.

Option 1 is the better deal. With the two picks being of similar value, I'd take the extra pick the next year every time.

You really do post some really stupid things. The Ravens have also won a Super Bowl with Trent Dilfer.

O.city · 04-24-2013, 07:14 PM

Fisher at 1, Minter at 42, the best DL prospect left at 54.

Talk about unrealistic expectations.

Don't get greedy about Albert, Andy Reid. Take the 2 and be happy.

To me, that's like saying any QB we take at 1 has to be Andrew Luck.

Ogden is a hall of fame player. Why is anyone setting those expectations?

Debate in KC is coaches want Fisher, scouts want Joeckel. Not a rift, just a debate. Dorsey is from Ron Wolf tree, prefer big school player
