Chiefs Dolphins working on a trade for offensive tackle Branden Albert - Page 20

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.

Who are the players in this draft that would be top five in any year?

God **** that is one idiotic statement.

But the CAP ROOM!

There's cap room! Delicious, delicious cap room!

Cap room wins Super Bowls! As do left tackles.

I'm not arguing with that. He obviously doesn't see Albert as taht. But he does apparently see Joeckel as that.

So is it wrong to hold him to that standard?

There aren't any.

So I guess we should jsut accept an average player with our 1st overall pick?

But it's all Albert's fault.

He wants too much money.

Albert is the bad guy here.

DAMN YOU BRANDEN ALBERT FOR ALLOWING THAT WHOLE SACK LAST YEAR

Dumbest ****ing idea, ever.

I don't give a **** if it's a QB or a tackle or a pass rusher: It's completely ****ing DUMB to sit a player chosen in the first round, let alone #1 overall, in 2013 with the current CBA (which is in effect for nine more years).

DUMB.

La Canfora says Dolphins hope to get Albert and than draft Millner. Do they know Millner probably wont get past the browns. I never listen to Canfora.

Hammock Parties · 04-17-2013, 07:34 PM

Albert > Joeckel

Millner > Sean Smith

Dolphins > Chiefs

Geno Smith wont.

JoeyChuckles · 04-17-2013, 07:34 PM

Is the deal done yet? Is there a yacht or something in the dock?

O.city · 04-17-2013, 07:34 PM

We are going to throw the ball a whole lot this year. Obviously, Reid and Co don't think ALbert can hold up. Fine.

Trade him, I don't really care. But I damn sure am going to expect the pick from the entire litter of the draft class to be impressive in that role.

Hopefully not. Who is going to be average so we can avoid them?
