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.

That may be, but if that were the case, why not just re sign Long.

Basically it is we trade Albert to get the 2nd or we stand pat where we are.

People just don't watch enough games.

Nope. Once you get to 6 you need next years 1st.

I was hoping for a trade down though so we could get at least that 2nd back. If not, we have to rely on BA getting traded.

He's just average afaik

His contract is about up and he could be wanting more than what the Jaguars want to pay.

With that said, I don't think they're drafting a Left Tackle. It's gonna be Dion Jordon.

Agree. I can't imaginve them not taking a DL or pass rusher.

Pipe dream I know, however I wonder if they could get a 1st next year by holding on Albert till day 2? After 1st round is finished, those left holding the bag might trade for a first next year out of desperation...or at least a 2nd this year and another next year

ChiefMojo · 04-22-2013, 07:53 PM

Nope common sense.

O.city · 04-22-2013, 07:53 PM

I think Alberts contract plus the picks will keep alot of people form giving up that much for him.

I think they just grew tired of him. They made a half assed effort to bring him back but I don't think they were that interested.

No one ****ing knows. Its his first time being a gm.

Penbook, he doesn't know. He doesn't know, because he's a drooling, goddamned, mongtard, and has been the entire ****ing draft cycle. Now you know.

Was he problematic in the lockerroom?

Translation: he's not taking the player I want so I'm going to pout about it.
