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.

They would basically give us the #12 pick and both second rounders plus maybe a third or fourth. Why that much fir Joeckel when you can have Albert for only a second round pick.

Whats funny is La Canfora said four days ago that Joeckel was 100% going to the Chiefs. Now hes reporting Fisher to KC.

Truth is no one has no ****ing idea who were taking.

Connecting dot: the #Raiders have deal in place to move down if Fisher/Joeckel there. Jags want to move down, threaten to take a tackle.

This could be a big part what's going on. They know they have to take Albert because if they do that deal Joeckel and Fisher are off the board.

This sounds more like my competent FO. Get us a 2nd rounder!

What a dumb ass rumor. "If" Fisher/Joeckel is there? One of them HAS to be there at #2.

Welp I went to bed and missed all the fun FML.

Chris Hansen...Raiders DON'T have a deal in place because KC if a team doesn't trade up is taking one of the OTs, that leaves one left. Enter JAX, they will then take the next OT or trade the pick; therefore, ****ing the Raiders.

SOC thanks for the rumors. If Dorsey pulls this off and moves to 12 and rapes Miami, he needs his dick publicly sucked on here from those who doubted his abilities.

What Jax owner Shad Khan said about making a "good" pick, not sexy one, makes me buy what I've heard: Jaguars will take Joeckel or Fisher.

There ya go suckstuna.

My prediction is there will be lots of updates, but nothing actually happens.

So relax, and enjoy work.

You do have a face for radio.

I'm calling bullshit on everything from last night.

I am.

All love to Marty, but I'm calling bullshit.

THERE IS NO WAY the Chiefs trade down with a team looking to get a tackle at #1 overall. Just no way.

And I'm going to go out and say the Dolphins trade for Albert is still happening.

I refuse to believe a flurry of bullshit two days before the draft that goes against every single piece of information that's been reported for two months now.

Joeckel, and a 2nd for Albert.

I thought that too... but then I remembered.... why havent we pulled the trigger on BA to Miami yet?

Because all of the shit last night has legs. And we finally had a CP approved tipster drop some knowledge on us.

I stand by my thinking that we trade EITHER BA or 1.1, and it is going to be with either Miami, Arizona, or Detroit.
