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.

Keep in mind, the Dolphins not only have to pay him, but have to compensate us as well.

If that's all it was, I think Dorsey is taking the #54 pick right now. Pretty sure they wouldn't even have been talking if that compensation price was too high for the Dolphins. Dorsey has to just want this to end.

Considering the Dolphins had all the leverage after trading away #42 last night, I'm betting they pulled 54 off the table.

They don't need Albert nearly as bad as Chiefs fans think they do. They have 9 picks left. They could easily (and should) use some of them to move up tonight to take Menelik Watson.
