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's some ****ing crazy shit.

Because of the moves they've made.

They've created more holes using draft picks which is amazing if you think about it.

I'm glad you're SO COOL with it.

It means you'll be first in line to be tried for war crimes when Fuhrer Dorsey is defeated in four years.

I think that's it, or gets close enough they can trade up a few spots.

Our tackle play last year was pretty good. Especially in the running game, and especially on Fisher's side (the side of 5th round draft picks and FA acquisitions who go on to win Super Bowls).

What a shitty goddamn pick.

Makes Tyson Jackson look like extreme value.

Back to the basement Voyager, GoChiefs, little boy.

2-14 for a hypothetical 6% increase in performance at LT

that's value!

good thing we didn't 'reach'

It can't be a reach in this draft when they are the consensus top players in the draft.

Again, I'm not happy about this, but the Chiefs can't control a how awful the top of this draft is.
