My only gut ache with this is we have no idea if Albert can play guard at a high level in the NFL. He was good in college but has played the last 5 years at LT and adjusted his weight accordingly. He might prove to just be adequate, not great, which wouldn't justify the huge contract.
Also, it's hilarious (or sad, not sure which) that after five years of hearing "move Albert to guard and draft a LT" it looks like it may happen. |

'we didn't hear about it' isn't a reason only reasons i can think of are: 1. back is really a problem 2. high money demands 3. money demands don't match Albert's skill in their opinion either way they had to talk to Albert ... at least some

Why Branden Albert should negotiate with the Chiefs.
1. He is currently employed by the Chiefs. 2. The Chiefs have committed to paying him $9MM next year. 3. His value may never be higher. It's in his best interest to get a long-term deal now, not a year from know. His value nose dives if he has more back problems or gets hurt. Why the Chiefs need to deal openly with Albert. 1. Albert is a current employee. 2. They have a lot of money ($9MM) invested in him. 3. With Fisher now a Chief, Albert's leverage is minimal. 4. Offer him a long-term deal as a LG or RT. 5. If he balks ask him what he finds more offensive. The fact that the Dolphins would only offer the 54th pick in the draft for him, or that his current team is willing to invest $45 million over a number of years but asks that he plays a new position, which could actually prolong his career. The Chiefs actually present Albert's best deal as far as his career in the NFL goes. |

Why not. We have Fisher for peanuts for the next five years. So if you are dead set against giving Albert real money for playing the G or RT are you ready to shell it out to Asamoah?

Albert is a whiny bitch, but he is using the Only leverage he can in the NFL. I would send him to KCI sooner rather than later.

What will you do at the end of the Albert contract when Fisher is due to get paid and you just paid your RT $45MM? I am not saying you can't pay your 2 tackles $12-15MM a year combined but that $ could be spent in other places. |

If you're going to move him, move him to guard.

And the best part is all that is getting done while Fisher plays at a much smaller price. |
