Jason Cole expects Chiefs to trade Albert for pick in '14

[Mother****erJones]

Branden Albert - T - Chiefs
Yahoo Sports' Jason Cole expects the Chiefs to end up trading Branden Albert for a second-round pick in 2014.
Cole mentions the Lions, Chargers, and Cardinals as teams that remain left tackle-needy after the draft and might be interested in Albert. The Lions would make a lot of sense because internally they have major questions about Riley Reiff's viability at tackle and prefer him at guard. The Dolphins could also jump back into the bidding. Although the Albert-to-Miami draft-week trade fell through, the sides had agreed to parameters of a long-term contract.

Seriously? No... seriously?

Wouldn't be surprised that this happens. Don't see Albert staying put

[Mav]

Make the trade with detroit. They will be picking top 5 again.....

told you they werent going to put up with him sitting out all training camp and showing up right before week 1

and having Fisher take all the reps at LT in training camp only to have Albert expect to play when he shows up or hog up 9 million on the bench. He's wasting cap space at this point

He wouldn't sit out through training camp. Huge fines for that now. He's yet to miss a mandatory work out. Also, last I heard, he was told to stay away while a trade was trying to be worked out.

Branden Albert signed his franchise tender.

He is under contract for the upcoming season, and if the Chiefs don't work a trade, he will be in for all the mandatory team activities, TC and preseason.

And the rumor is that the Chiefs asked to pass on the voluntary workouts recently.

At this point, unless it's something crazy like a 1st or multiple early picks, just keep him.

So he can wiggle his fat into a roster spot just to ride the pine?

I just cant see him doing that, IMO that would torpedo his chances at a fat payday in 14.

It must be a terrible burden to be a 14 year old moron.

He would not be on the bench. He will be the starting LT and Fisher will be the starting RT.
