Ok.
Here's why you can't.
You've already given Branden Albert 10-15 million in guarantees and close to 30 overall.
If you moved him to RT that makes him one of the highest paid RTs in the league, which is a far less important position than LT, a position at which he has shown pro bowl potential, and at which he isn't even paid that much.
Plus, most RTs in this league are mid rounders.
So if you move Albert to RT you do several things--
You significantly decrease his draft value
You significantly hamper your cap because you are far above the average pay scale for the position at which he'll play
You move him to a less important position on the OL which he is not as well suited to play.
Moreover, you've created a hole at the most important position on the offensive line.
So, would you rather pay Branden Albert 30 mil to protect your blindside, and someone like Feneki Tupou 3 million, and draft a guy like Sanchez or Stafford to be your franchise QB...
or,
Would you rather pay Eugene Monroe 55 million, Albert 30, and have Tyler Thigpen as your franchise QB, while paying Nate Davis or Rhett Bomar 3-5 million?
It doesn't make
any sense.
