Dolphins cutting left tackle Branden Albert

The pool of available left tackles continues to fill, with the Dolphins the latest to throw a guy out of theirs.

According to Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network, the Dolphins will be cutting veteran left tackle Branden Albert.

That clears the way for 2016 first-rounder Laremy Tunsil to take over there, after they plugged him into various roles last year, settling at left guard.

The 32-year-old Albert struggled with injuries as a Dolphin, though the investment they made in Tunsil made this seem inevitable from the moment the talented blocker fell into their laps because of a marijuana-smoking gas mask video just before the draft began.

Albert may no longer be athletic enough to handle the position the way he once did, but he’ll still likely get plenty of looks on the market.

Sign him and move him to guard!

ROFL I forgot about that.

So they paid $30 million over 3 years to get 35 games played. His 2015 season was a pretty good one and that saved him for 2016 (when they could've cut him prior to March and saved quite a bit of money) but on balance, that was a pretty poor signing for them.

Bring him home for 2 mil and a backup position. Good depth

If KC doesn't I bet Denver kicks the tires.

Albert and Stephenson as book ends. Love it

Stephenson is going to get cut. You can guarantee that.

i believe quesadilla joe will be by any minute, good sir......

It's a shame to see him leave, but he left his mark on the game. He holds the second-highest number in NFL history on game stoppages due to injury.

But I can see him leaving. Ed McCaffrey's record is, unlike him, completely unbreakable.

Hahahaa! It did seem like every other play ended with Albert sitting on the ground while the trainers ran out there.

I wonder if someone, somewhere, actually keeps track of that stat?

I really want that stat now. I'd never thought about it before, but it would be fascinating to know.

that was the prime example of how to sell high on a player.

I don't think all the tears from true fans have dried up yet, you know, since we let go of a game defining generational tackle like Brandon AlbertS.

No way we need that dude here to lay on the ground 2 or 3 times a game with sand in his vagina...

Dorsey continues to school many here
