Every player was in KC today but Albert.

Reid: don't want to focus on Albert. Focus on guys that are here #chiefs.


Bob Fescoe ‏@bobfescoe 46s
Branden Albert only no show today #chiefs

DUN DUN DUN~!

NO WAI JOCKLE AT #1

Is it mandatory?

Adam Teicher ‏@adamteicher 52s

Branden Albert did not report on 1st day of chiefs offseason program. Program is technically voluntary

It's voluntary. If I was playing on a 1 year tag, I would do as little as possible to minimize the chance of getting injured. Nothing is guaranteed after this year.

Well he's as good as gone.

That's because he's off negotiating with Geno's agent!!!!

Did Geno Smith practice?

Then technically I don't really give a shit.

Nothing against you. I'm just not going to get worked up until he starts missing mandatory shit.

If im him, i do the same

I'm not trying to get hurt before possibly getting traded (with an extension)

Reid: I was interested on drafting mccluster he can do 3 diff things for u #chiefs

Yes. That is exactly what this means. :rolleyes:

TMZOMG!!1!

fumble, drop, and get tackled for loss?

:rolleyes: Dude is getting paid $10mil to play a sport for one season. If that isn't enough security then I don't know what is. Excuses are getting rediculous.

Albert is gone. Anyone with a brain realizes this. Whomever is going to give up the 2nd rounder is probably just waiting until they get closer to the draft to make a trade.

HEZ SELFIZH!

Lol, he's getting the $10M regardless. Now it's about staying healthy so he can sign a long-term contract somewhere. Cause you know, everyone should risk $30+ million contracts just to be with the team. :thumb:

And how much of that will he see? :rolleyes:

All of it. Courtesy of the team he is traded to.

I believe all of it. Isn't the tag guaranteed?

Nah. Just gonna draft Smith and pick up and OT and LB in round three. Dig it. Ah, poor Cockmon.

Is rediculous the opposite of greendiculous?

Well I meant between agents, taxes, lawyers, etc. Can't blame a guy for wanting to limit the chances of him getting hurt in a voluntary program. To must of us the money is a lot, but we have never been on the cusp of earning 40 million over five years either.

If there is in fact a trade in the works and Albert is being deliberately held out of practice then one would assume he is in the process of working out a new contract with the new team.

And when that doesn't happen, what would you like me to say at your eulogy after I have my way with your sister?

No, its short for Reidiculous:)

REIDiculous :D

That's what I said!! :)

oh and you can't make branden albert play QB :D

Poor Cockmon; such strong and plentiful butt-hurt over losing Geno...

lol

LMAO People with this mindset crack me up.

OP didn't include this....

@bobfescoe: Reid: knew Albert wasn't going to be here #chiefs

I'm sure it'll get blown out of proportion by the media though...

Watch em smash our hopes again by waiting to announce that Albert has been traded until Genos visit is over.

Announcement late tomorrow night or early Wednesday.

But but but we still like Geno...

Didn't Bowe miss this last year?

If he was planning on missing time, he wouldn't have signed the tender.

I hate to say it but if Reid knows about Albert not being there, it's very possible it's because they intend to trade him and don't want him around the rest of the team.

It's also possible that Reid and Albert have an understanding and Albert will be there in the next couple days.

I guess we shall see.

This. Keep your common sense to yourself!

Draft Geno and an OT in rd 2 if they cant get Albert signed. I see the Albert trade rumor as a smoke screen only because it stalled quickly. All the buzz/smoke is around KC taking OT. Everyone in the NFL thinks were taking an OT. So this is all to get him to lower his price

This is voluntary too.

Bob Fescoe ‏@bobfescoe 1m

Smith: on bowe I like what I see #chiefs

Yes, but he didn't sign his tender until training camp.

:spock:

We got rid of are 2nd round pick.

Im saying if we traded back somehow. But were not trading back. We'll re-sign Albert and take Geno hopefully

Something that may go against us getting Geno, if we've been negotiating with Albert trying to get our lower price, taking Geno would only intensify that. You take a QB with the first 2 picks of your draft essentially, you're going to need someone to protect him, someone really great no matter which Smith is behind center. This scenario would make Albert and his agent go apeshit with possibilities.

But we'd have a roster with a proven vet QB, good backup QB and a future QB in the waiting. That's not bad. We can also move up from our 3s to the 2nd if we wanted.

New member here, and plan on plenty of Non-Troll posts! I am a Texan fan (queu the boos), and am sorry about the loss of Eric Winston. I liked him in Houston and seemed like a class act in KC as well.

Quick question: If you got rid of Winston, and IF you plan to draft Joekel or Fisher, who is your backup RT if you trade Albert? I'm not understanding the trade talk. Smith NEEDS to be protected. He had the best O-line in football (arguably) and (no offense) is going to an inferior one. Seems like trading Albert wouldn't even be a discussion.

And not to stir the pot, but hope you get Tyler Bray or Manuel with a later pick!

I will punch you right in the ovaries noob.

Geoff Schwartz is probably going to be the RT.

Theory: I think they want to see what they think of Geno first before they extend/keep Albert. If Geno tears up this private visit and impresses Reid and Co. expect to hear Albert coming to practice, maybe even signs an extension to bring down that cap number so we can have more cap flexibility. But if we aren't impressed with what we see tonight and tomorrow, prepare to hear that Albert was shipped to Mia for a 2nd and some change. It truly is all in Genos hands now. If he really wants to be a Chief, this is his shot. Don't **** this up dude.

my thoughts nexactly...

They also may wait on trading Albert to keep teams from knowing for sure were taking an OT at 1. Which teams already think were taking an OT so I dont know if it really matters

Winston is a dick and we're glad he is gone. Second most hated player in KC behind Cassel.

From what I hear, he's acting like he's got it in the bag...

don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

**** Eric Winston

Goofy faced neanderthal

OK, maybe even more hated than Cassel. Cassel just didn't have the talent; the fact that Scooter kept making sure he was on the field was no fault of his own. Winston was just an asshat who should of kept his mouth shut.

This is the same HC who liked Mcnabb, Vick, Freddie Mitchell, and Brian Dawkins. I'm pretty sure he's a fan of confidence, especially from your QB.

Kindly **** off.

If you plan on plenty of "Non-troll posts!" then you are going to get butt ra*ed by this crowd while you hold the jelly in one hand and the syrup in the other. Fookin n00b.

Seriously, who are you?

This. Who ****ing cares.

Jesus, it says who he is right in the username.

Dane's cousin

Albert Breer reports John Dorsey has narrowed his list down to 4 players and will announce their draft pick 4 days prior to the draft. Dorsey has watched Genos pro day 3 times and likes him a lot according to Albert Breer.

Also Albert started long term negotiations with the old regime. This regime has yet to do that.

Interesting, if true. Looked at his Twitter, and evidently Bowe was playing with FOUR broken ribs at the end of last year. Christ.

Damn. Bowe is a warrior.. Still playing hurt while the season didnt mean anything.

We're going to be so much better with Alex Smith and a rookie LT. DOMINATION!!!!

LMAO

Seriously, what's to gain by people not knowing who we take at #1? Nobody is in front of us....

ROFL

1)I'm an Aquarius
2)I Love me some Shockers
3)A long time ago I made skip cry
4)I have a standing invitation to meet Dane in Vegas or L.A. to party

5) like to **** young boys

You can't prove that.

Yup as I figured, Albert is done here! This may go up until the draft week or draft day but Albert is gonzo. Joeckel or Fisher here we go.

5) Kirstie Tynes threatened me once.
6) I'm a big fan of that Honey Badger video too.

6) You're trying too hard. Take a lap.

I know man I agree, but theyre trying to trade back

LMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAO I love quoting you and laughing afterwards.

:spock:

Yes he would. Him signing his tender was basically daring them not to sign him long term. Sign me, or pay me 10mil.

It's not an indicator of whether he'll be traded or anything else. It was the next move to push along negotiations.
