Dolphins cutting left tackle Branden Albert
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...randen-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. |

The Miami Herald reports the Dolphins have decided to hold off on releasing LT Branden Albert, and are "apparently going to pause and assess the possibilities."
Only the Dolphins. Truly, only the Dolphins. Per ace reporter Armando Salguero, the Dolphins and Albert agreed to his release on Thursday morning, but the team has had an about-face due to "sudden and significant interest from at least one and perhaps other teams in acquiring Albert." It means the Dolphins will probably keep Albert on the roster through the start of the new league year on March 9. They are doing Albert dirty, not letting him choose his own team, and potentially severely depressing his value. Instead of having the market all to himself right now, Albert could end up having to fight for scraps in the second phase of free agency. |

So he can be injured half the season at guard instead of tackle?

True but would he have sex with a 70 year old woman? That's what we want to know.

Really though, think about alternate history where AlbertS pimps got their way, and we re-signed him to a long term contract.
He got 5 years and $47 million from Miami 2 years ago. His cap hit is > $10 million for each of the next three years. We wouldn't have drafted Fisher, so we would probably still have a hole at LT. We'd have instead wasted Fisher's pick on someone else at the top of the worst draft class in recent memory. We would be saddled with two terrible contracts and no LT. Think about that armchair GMs |

The Miami Herald's Armando Salguero reports the Jaguars are interested in acquiring LT Branden Albert.
After refusing to pick up LT Kelvin Beachum's four-year team option earlier this week, Jacksonville is again in the market for a blind-side protector for Blake Bortles. Albert is 32 and may not have much left in the tank, but he should have at least 1-2 more years of left tackle in him. Salguero mentions the possibility of an Albert-for-Julius Thomas swap that rids each team of players it doesn't want while helping each other out with a player at a position of need. Thomas, of course, had back-to-back 12-touchdown seasons in Denver under now-Dolphins coach Adam Gase. |
