Branden Albert trade won’t happen unless he lowers his price

The much-discussed potential trade of Branden Albert from the Chiefs to the Dolphins doesn’t appear likely at the price Albert is currently seeking.

Although the Chiefs and Dolphins can probably agree on compensation — the Dolphins sending a second-round pick to Kansas City — the hangup is that Albert wants the kind of money that the Dolphins aren’t willing to spend. Specifically, according to Jason Cole of Yahoo! Sports, Albert wants between $8 million and $9 million a year on a long-term deal.

In other words, Albert is looking for the same kind of contract that left tackle Jake Long got from the Rams — the very contract the Dolphins wouldn’t give Long, which is why he left Miami for St. Louis.

If the Dolphins weren’t willing to pay Long that kind of money, it’s hard to see why they’d be willing to give up a second-round draft pick for the privilege of paying Albert that kind of money. So the Dolphins may need to look elsewhere for a left tackle. And Albert may have to settle for playing this season for the Chiefs, making $9.8 million, and hitting free agency next year.

The Raiders have a better record than the Browns since that point. That's the impact even the best LT in the league has on a team. Even if you draft the worst QB in NFL history, you're still on par with a team that drafts that great LT.

**** that will leave a mark!

I had a dream the other night KC selected Jordan.

At least it wasn't a LT.

I'd be fine with this.

Thanks for the intel TBG.

I hope it is Geno, obviously. However, if not, I hope we trade down - maybe the Jets acquire a first round pick from Tampa Bay (for Revis) and trade us two firsts for the number one.

If we had picks 9 and 13, maybe we could pick up Mingo at nine and trade down further with the 13th pick to acquire ammo for next year.

I really expect over the next 5 days to hear how much the Chiefs love Geno. I'd put odds at drafting him at 1%

What if they think Stephenson is going to be a good LT and they can pick a non-tackle with 1.1 and pickup a backup tackle later in the draft.

Is this based on your opinion, or how the info was passed on?
