Branden Albert trade won’t happen unless he lowers his price

The much-discussed potential trade of Branden Albert from the Chiefs to the Dolphins doesn’t appear likely at the price Albert is currently seeking.

Although the Chiefs and Dolphins can probably agree on compensation — the Dolphins sending a second-round pick to Kansas City — the hangup is that Albert wants the kind of money that the Dolphins aren’t willing to spend. Specifically, according to Jason Cole of Yahoo! Sports, Albert wants between $8 million and $9 million a year on a long-term deal.

In other words, Albert is looking for the same kind of contract that left tackle Jake Long got from the Rams — the very contract the Dolphins wouldn’t give Long, which is why he left Miami for St. Louis.

If the Dolphins weren’t willing to pay Long that kind of money, it’s hard to see why they’d be willing to give up a second-round draft pick for the privilege of paying Albert that kind of money. So the Dolphins may need to look elsewhere for a left tackle. And Albert may have to settle for playing this season for the Chiefs, making $9.8 million, and hitting free agency next year.

Needless? Yes. Irrelevant? Who doesn't want their dick sucked?

I don't know that that's been proven. I'd be the first to agree that QB play is considerably more important, but I don't agree that it's either necessary or sufficient. Even QBs playing at an elite level need other contributors to play well for the team to win a championship.

Bill Williamson said Dorsey is a due dilligence guy and is working the pick right up until draft day.

Basically saying not so fast of a OT #1.

On Path to the Draft, re: if he has heard from the Chiefs, tackle Eric Fisher: Not that much but I think it is possible I go first overall.

First pick in the draft and we still have to wait until draft day to find out who it is.

Well there you have it.

Unless we do something like trade down and Joeckel gets picked before us, there's no reason for us to pick Fisher over Joeckel. Fisher has almost no track record, as talented as he is.

No reason, just adding to the update interest and based on some of the stellar responses it dawned on me that she would probably be a good gauge based on her answer on which camp was in the wrong.
