Believe what you want, he signed YESTERDAY.

Actually, it does. He cant be traded if he isnt under contract. He will need to negotiate a new contract with another team in order to facilitate a trade.

No it doesn't, really, aside from my point that one reason why Reid could not have confirmed him as the left tackle is the fact that he hadn't signed his tender and so wasn't on the team at the time of the question.

(the other reasons of course being that they may hope to trade him, or want to be careful what they say since they're in the middle of long-term contract negotiations)

How about Pro Football Talk:

Branden Albert signs his franchise tender
March 18, 2013, 1:20 PM EDT

Just hours after reports surfaced that the Chiefs were open to a trade for offensive tackle Branden Albert, Albert has decided to remove any uncertainty about his current contractual status. Albert has accepted his franchise tender, Mike Garafolo of USA Today reports. That means Albert won’t be a training camp holdout and will play this…

Hah, and even he says "has accepted and will sign it soon".

Did he say "Eliminate bad football" at any point?

chiefforlife 03-19-2013 04:28 PM
John Clayton of ESPN also reported it but whatever.

If the Chiefs are in trade talks with other teams, he must be signed.

Given Andys comments, I think it would take a substantial offer to make the trade.

That's another misrepresentation of a source (by roto, not by you). All Clayton said yesterday was "Updating from owners meetings, I think the Dolphins could offer a No. 2 pick to KC to land LT Branden Albert. They have 2 No. 2s".

I do not feel like that's correct, as New England traded their prized Hat Cassel to the Chefs after he had tagged with the Pats.

OK,

Branden Albert - T - Chiefs

Citing chatter at the NFL Owners Meetings, ESPN's John Clayton believes the Dolphins could acquire franchise player LT Branden Albert from the Chiefs in exchange for a second-round draft pick.
Albert signed his one-year, $9.828 million tender on Monday and is available for trade. Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland has a need at left tackle and two second-round picks: Nos. 42 and 54. Trading for Albert would likely also require Miami signing him to a long-term extension. The Dolphins have structured their free-agent contracts in a backloaded manner and still have $15 million in cap room.
