I wonder how close he'll get to that with the yes man Dorsey on the other side of the table.

Might come pretty close on paper w/late contract salary balloon a la Tyson Jackson.

I wonder how big a bonus he wants and how much actual per year he needs.

18 M bonus plus base 4M/ year w/another 10 spread over late years he'll never see unless he dominated would get him ballpark. They can juggle the numbers lots if ways.

Depends on if he truly wants paid or if he wants his name on a big contract for ego sake.

Chiefs
Branden Albert expected at Chiefs practice next week
May 10

Read more Chiefs

Rookie tackle Eric Fisher, selected by the Chiefs with the first overall pick in the NFL Draft last month, was at right tackle today for the beginning of a three-day rookie camp at their Truman Sports Complex practice facility.

“He’ll be in here Monday,” coach Andy Reid said of Albert. “Branden will play the left side for right now and Eric will play the right side. I think that gives you two pretty good bookends right there. We also know we have Donald Stephenson, who is also a good football player.”

“He (Albert) is very eager to get going. He’s very excited.”

Following the conclusion of the rookie camp, the Chiefs resume full-squad practice on Tuesday.

After the sides were unable to agree on terms of a long-term contract, the Chiefs designated Albert as their franchise player, effectively preventing him from testing the free-agent market. Albert soon signed the Chiefs’ one-year contract offer worth $9.83 million but has stayed away from the team’s voluntary offseason conditioning program that began April 1.

He also was absent for last month’s full-squad mini-camp.

July 15 is right around the corner.

Mr. Laz · 07-01-2013, 07:38 PM

I don't think July 15th matters

Imo the Chiefs are going to run Albert on the franchise tag for one year. Because of his age his asking price is not going to go up. If he gets injured again his asking price will have to drop. If Fisher is a stud then they will want to move him to left tackle anyway.

It's Alberts last year as a Chief unless he drops his contract demands.

Imo next year he won't get what he's asking for either so he might as well.

Who know, maybe Fisher will look so good in the preseason that the Chiefs might trade Albert this year. Another team loses a left tackle to injury and the chiefs could get good value.

Some team that happens to have an extra $10,000,000 in cap room?

Mother****erJones · 07-01-2013, 08:05 PM

Albert is ****ed IMO. His age and back problems from last year will affect his price. Now I hope he's healthy this year I like him as a player just not elite money on a long term deal.

His age? He's coming off his rookie deal.

If he has a good year, he's getting paid somewhere

O.city · 07-01-2013, 08:09 PM

Iirc, someone said they heard Clayton or someone state they were going to resume talks after the 4th Holliday

RunKC · 07-01-2013, 08:09 PM

This is going to be interesting. Keeping Albert and shelling out more money on a 2nd franchise year deal would be a terrible move, but so would just letting him walk and hoping for a 3rd rd comp pick.

Branden will be 29 this november and with back spasms last year thats is iffy to me. I dont know how many full healthy seasons he has left. I would love for him to stay just not at some crazy elite LT deal.

O.city · 07-01-2013, 08:28 PM

If he's healthy, which judging by the fact were ok with franchising him I hope he is, just sign him and forget about the tackle spot. We've spent enough resources up there for a while

O.city · 07-01-2013, 08:30 PM

If his back isn't ok or if it didnt check out, I doubt we would have franchised him
