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.

I'm confused. Are we the "penis whistles" or are you saying your penis whistles?

Kietzman's about to have a stroke over taking a LT when we have one. He must be on CP

**DeezNutz** · 04-24-2013, 04:55 PM

We drafted a college guard (primarily) who played a damn fine LT. If we end up drafting a college LT who has to be moved to guard because he cannot stick on the edge, I'll honestly laugh my ass off.

Gallows humor for these fans.

Although most believe Chiefs take Luke Joeckel, I do not, I believe Chiefs will take Eric Fisher w #1 pick. Big, nasty, fits city

Jay Glazer ‏@JayGlazer 12s

I think they take Fisher of Joeckel, barring a trade. Absolutely love Fisher's nastiness

Direckshun · 04-24-2013, 04:57 PM

I am sick of this.

Good night, Planet. Catch up with you on draft day.

The only silver lining would be if we drafted Fisher and the Jags drafted Joeckel.
