Chiefs Keep Albert Or Let Him Walk?

penbrook · 12-10-2013, 01:24 AM

With Albert out it seems like our line has no drop off. I would let Albert walk and put Stephenson at LT and Fisher at RT and also re sign Schwartz. Our line stays the same plus we free up money to re sign players like Smith and Schwartz.

I'd love to keep him. He's a decent LT. But not at like 8% of the overall cap. Hell nah. He's a top 15 LT, which is good enough to keep. But it's not good enough to rate an 8 figure per year salary.

Letting him walk assumes he's healthy enough to actually walk?

**007** · 12-10-2013, 01:45 AM

With the injury issues yearly and the money he wants to be paid? Let him walk.

He's decent enough, but unless his market value collapses like a hyper extended knee, the reality and economics dictate that we let him walk.

Whats the thing where we can make an offer or is it match an offer and then get a pick? Could we pull that off for him?

booger · 12-10-2013, 02:08 AM

Obviously cant afford to tag him. I'm not sure that whats best for him and what's best for the team are the same thing. If he can get a top 5 contract for a LT he should go for it. In KC the best thing in 2014 would be with Fisher and Stephenson as the starting OT's going forward. Say they resign Schwartz and start him at RG. They still need to upgrade LG. If he's willing to play G and still get enough guaranteed money then that would be benificial to both.

That's not to say that he can't play LT and get into that stupid stuff. It's going to be what he can get on the market vs what they could offer to resign in KC

The only idiots who will give him 8 figures are the Chiefs. Getting picks for him is a pipedream.

**** it.

Move Fisher to LG. Retain Albert and Schwartz. Start Stephenson at RT. That's the best chance at creating an elite ZB line.

There's this Asamoah Guy out there that would be perfect in Zone if he's willing to move to C

Can he snap the ball?

ThaVirus · 12-10-2013, 02:29 AM

I was wondering that. This is the second time I've heard someone mention moving Asamoah to center. Is that is natural position or something?
