Both Albert and Bowe will get 25m in guaranteed money.

What?

What makes you believe that Albert will receive a higher guaranteed portion than that of Duane Brown, who received guarantees of around $22 million in August 2012?

Brown is the best left tackle in the league, bar none. If Albert receives more than $20 million upfront, the Chiefs have overpaid.

Bar none.

So...

What's the update status with Branden Albert?

I've heard rumors that the Chiefs want to ink him, and also that the Chiefs are going to let him walk.

What's the beat on ChiefsPlanet?

Should be getting Albert and Bowe signed soon I'd assume. And seriously the money needed for both could be gained just by restructuring Jackson to near minimum and releasing Cassel.
Pioli managed to find 2 of the worst players at their position and pay them nearly the most. He was a genius.

We need to pay Albert, Bowe, and Colquitt. We need to reward our players that work hard and stay clean. It will help with our other players and future free agents because theyll see we sign our vets. Unlike New England where when they get to their 2nd contract they usually let em go. The only reason they wana go there now is because of Brady.

What reerun posted that?

And I refuse to judge Baldwin until we get a legit QB throwing him the ball. Plus, it will help to have a coaching staff with a clue to develop him.

The Chiefs have been working with his agent for over 2 weeks. He passed a comprehensive physical. He's publicly stated he wants to be a Chief.

The "they are going to let him walk" sentiment is coming 100% from guys like Shawn Zobel and Matt Miller. IOW, there's zero credibility behind it.

Pretty sure i've never seen it put that way, **** me.

King Carl is a national friggin treasure compared to that mfer.

With his back problems I'd be fine with slapping the tag on him and seeing how this year plays out...

The back problems have yet to be totally confirmed. Again, much of the fuel to that fire is coming from Inet hacks.

The only CONCRETE report we have about his back is that he passed a comprehensive physical.

Its funny that so many people seem to skip over that info. HE PASSED THE PHYSICAL! Yet, time and time again, I see 'Experts" and CPers talking about his bad back. :rolleyes:

He needs coached-up .. right now he's worthless .....

Don't forget that he was so married to one of them that he passed on Colin Kaepernick over the wishes of his head coach and scouts, as well as Russell Wilson. All so he could keep the path the certain playing time clear for Matty.

It's virtually impossible to overstate how destructive Scott Pioli was to this franchise.

I am really glad our first round picks are treated like raw green as grass 5th round development prospects

no really

actually kind of sad/pathetic.
