Nothing to deal with. He is an above average LT and deserves to be paid as such. I fully expect a contract that makes him right around the 6th or 7th highest paid LT in the league... which is fine. Anything more and he better do some more serious improving to earn it.

Well, thats where we differ I guess. If I have a top 3 LT in the league, I would figure he could either fit any scheme, or I'd keep the current scheme he's a top 3 LT in.

Go coach Miami... you'd be an upgrade! I agree with you but Miami has problems.

He IS top 15.. you could even argue top 10 (you'd be wrong but I could see him eaking in there) but to say he is top 5 shows some serious football ignorance. He is top 5 in the AFC West! I'll give you that one!

I posted a link a few months back that had details to Duane Brown's new contract. It was far from outrageous and I'd expect Albert's numbers to be similar but with less guaranteed money.

I don't think that he or his agent will demand a contract that's equal to or greater than the best left tackle in the league.

No way he deserves a contract equal to Brown's but Brown's was a very reasonable deal so I wouldn't expect something drastically less either. Less guaranteed and 7.5-8 mil/year seems about right. So yeah I think you've got a pretty good bead on what he SHOULD get.

he's just as good as Duane Brown so why wouldnt he get a contract like that?

NO ONE CAN SAY FOR CERTAIN

GRADING OL PLAY IS A MYSTERY

Albert's been a multiple Pro Bowler? A 2nd team All-Pro and first team All Pro?

Uh, when?

Brown's younger, too.

Bears special teams coach Dave Toub, one of the very best, has interviewed for ST job with KC and CAR. CHI interviewed him for HC job

I would give him WTF he wants to sign here.

Don't bother he thinks Albert is a TOP 3 LT. He's ****ing nuts.

Kinda gotta move that "holding" column over to the right with your eyes.
So, 1 holding penalty and 1 sack this season in a contract year!
Holy smokes.

Source is from Hostedstats.inc great player site.

He also protects a good QB.

Look at the garbage Albert has been forced to protect.

It matters.

if you want to go by that guys source. Albert has allowed 27 sacks and Duane Brown has allowed 34.

And Brandon Albert has been playing with absolute dog shit QBs.

If Albert was even protecting a good NFL QB, he would be a notable name
