Chiefs NFLN Rumor: Albert being shopped - Page 2

melbar · 03-05-2013, 06:46 PM

Daniel Jeremiah on NFL TA just said that there is some "talk out there" they franchised Albert to trade him. May have been speculated on other threads, but this is the first I've heard that its actually being discussed around the league. If Reid likes Joekel as much as some say, is a later first plus enough compensation for an established T with some injury concern? Then maybe QB, CB, etc mid to late? May be total B.S., but interesting...

Yay lets blow a pick on a position already well filled!

"Reid likes Joekel as much as some say ..."

so who is 'some'?

i would like to know who Reid told he likes a player at this time of the year.

I mean who is Reid spilling the beans to right now, about this?

Really hard to believe.

Rumor so grain of salt here, but "what if" they like someone like Wilson and believe they can get him in the 20's? Go younger at LT, and get your QB to groom.

Ya, every time I hear someone say this I wonder the same thing...

Now, if someone bites and you get two first rounders for him, well, that would be hard to walk away from.

If any deal backfires or not go through Brandon Alberts could be sour apples to the FO. What good is it to piss off a player?

Surely some of this was discussed

Hope to God this is bullshit.

This entire offseason, all we've heard from the mouthbreathing "experts" is how we are doing nothing but targeting Luke Joeckel.

Every move Dorsey has made to this point doesn't add up as gearing to go after a left tackle. Now these "experts" are in scramble mode trying to make sense of our moves while still trying to convince us that they were always right about us taking Joeckel.

It's all crap.

Likely he's already pissed since they franchised him. No player wants the franchise tag.

That being said, he'll play his ass off this season if he's smart, and get himself a fat paycheck next season.

Hootie · 03-05-2013, 07:06 PM

I speculated on this yesterday

their thought process?

why let an asset walk when you can franchise him and recover the assets you lost in the Alex Smith trade?

so basically they get Alex Smith for Branden Albert and still take Joeckel.

I hate it, but I figured yesterday this was an option. If they were going to take Joeckel either way at least we got a free QB out of it I guess.

in 10 years, people around here are still going to be blaming 'him' for everything bad that happens.

Dorsey is doing a good job at keeping all the ****tards guessing

penbrook · 03-05-2013, 07:08 PM

If Sean Smith and Canty sign who the hell do we draft.

Hoover · 03-05-2013, 07:08 PM

If I'm Albert I'd gladly play on a one year deal. FA class this year is full of options. Next year, not so much.

ChiefMojo · 03-05-2013, 07:09 PM

Sadly I can see how this makes sense. Princess pretty much stated my thoughts on the matter.

By trading Albert we are basically getting back our pick for Alex Smith and have his replacement selected with the #1 pick. So yes we basically bring in a starting QB for not much in the long run.
