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.

Dolphins willing to pay Branden Albert his asking price

The Miami Dolphins have shown all offseason they're unafraid to spend to get what they want. Their pursuit of Kansas City Chiefs left tackle Branden Albert fits with that new organizational thinking.

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported Monday that Miami is willing to meet Albert's asking price, that being a contract similar to the six-year, $53.4 million extension signed by Houston Texans tackle Duane Brown last summer.

This stands in contrast to a recent report by Yahoo! Sports that stated the Dolphins and Albert wouldn't be a match unless his price "comes down significantly."

If the financial end is taken care of, only compensation between teams is left to be worked out. The Chiefs want a second-round pick. The Dolphins own two (at 42 and 54).

If Kansas City is willing to take the later pick, we should have ourselves a deal.

I don't see the Dolphins paying Albert more than they wanted to pay Long. Oh well.

**RealSNR** · 04-22-2013, 06:20 PM

We really like this QB and think he could be really good, but we're picking too high.

Good God, what will it ****ing take to rid ourselves of this bullshit outdated mindset? How many ****ing airplane banners will it take?

Cannibal · 04-22-2013, 06:20 PM

**** Miami, give up 42, or get stuffed.

I still have faith that Dorsey cant be this ****ing stupid. It just depends if they think he is BPA.

RunKC · 04-22-2013, 06:22 PM

Dorsey said he was taking the best player and that player is an OT.

I'm sure he likes Geno, but he's not the best player and that's the plan that has worked for years.

Cannibal · 04-22-2013, 06:22 PM

If they refuse 42, keep Albert for this year and draft Jordan.

Insert: Arizona

Mike Jurecki of XTRA Phoenix is "hearing" the Cardinals "have discussed" trading for Chiefs LT Branden Albert.

The Dolphins and Albert's agent held contract discussions over the weekend, but talks have reportedly stalled. Insert the Cardinals. Arizona is desperate for a left tackle and there's a real possibility none of the top three will be there at No. 7 in the draft. Kansas City wants a second-round pick for Albert; the Cardinals hold the 38th pick. Albert also needs a new long-term contract. He is said to be seeking upwards of $9 million annually.

How do you know that Dorsey is thinking that a OT is BPA.

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