I'll be honest - if we still can't come to an agreement after the Long contract, then what more can Reid and Dorsey do?
They can't make him sign a deal and they can't very well go without a LT in 2014.
So while I would still far prefer a trade down, this isn't like letting Albert walk and taking Joeckel - right now Albert is forcing their hand.
The market on a long term contract for a premier pass-blocking LT has been set by Long and Brown over the last 2 years. If Albert won't come to it, then you have to let him go and plan accordingly.
But again, I'd still far prefer that we trade down and take Lane Johnson. In the end, though, we need dance partners for both scenarios - Albert for the LTC and trade partners for the trade-down.
I'm hopeful and optimistic that we'll find both.
