If he's going to take $10M, and play wherever needed and be a good teammate, I'm good with that. Maybe it's the result of rampant speculation, but my impression was that he would not be okay with playing anything but LT, because it would lower his market value. Combine that with an already way out-of-whack self perception of his market value that means we can't even trade him, and it's pretty frustrating. At best he is a purely mercenary player for us now.
I had been pinning it on the Chiefs for not just getting him signed, but if the Dolphins are balking at his asking price too then Albert is out of his mind. The Dolphins want him more than any other team in the NFL.
