As I understand it, he did not sign yesterday. He told the team that he intended to sign. And it was reported that he's expected to do it today. At least that's what Teicher at the star, espn and NFL.com all said 24 hours ago. I haven't seen anything updated from any of those sources, and I don't see anything about him signing his tender on kcchiefs.com.

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.

Branden Albert - T - Chiefs

Chiefs signed franchise player LT Brandon Albert to a one-year, $9.828 million contract.
It's a smart move by Albert, whose $9.8 million is now fully guaranteed for the 2013 season. The move could also expedite a trade out of Kansas City, although we tentatively anticipate Albert staying with the Chiefs. The team could still entertain trade inquiries closer to the draft, especially if GM John Dorsey has already decided on selecting a left tackle at No. 1 overall.
