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.

Well this settles it. Joeckel is going to be the greatest lt to ever play now thanks to Tribal's bullshit psychoanalysis.

Not shocking. None of you have watched games of the players you constantly pimp or ridicule on this board.

Why not just add Royr to that elite group for the win?

You seriously watched all 16 chiefs games last year and thought Eric Berry played at elite level?

Cassel absolutely was an alternate. (Hopefully that's who you were discussing)

He was referring to Berry.

Joeckel is one inch shorter than Fisher

I'd be shocked if they took Joeckel though. Fisher is the lineman in the Reid style. He wants guys who are big and who can maul and that's Fisher.

It's not Joeckel and it's not Albert.

Albert turned the team off for a number of reasons 1 being his inability to be flexible for the good of the team, the other is his contract demands and the 3rd is they question how well he's going to hold up on a long term deal due to the various body transformations he has undergone.

If the Chiefs can get the 42, take it and clear 9 million off the books.

I know it's not popular around here, but Dorsey made the right move franchising and trading this guy since they really just don't think he fits.

Thanks for the info.....This....all of this^^^

Albert and our 1st overall for the Dolphins 1st (12)?

mcaj22 · 04-18-2013, 07:03 AM

i hope they sign a veteran FA(s) with the 9 million Albert clears

and I hope TBG is right that the first pick is Fisher, let he and Stephenson battle for LT and flip the loser to RT.

Mother****erJones · 04-18-2013, 07:10 AM

No Fisher plays LT. You don't trade Albert and draft Fisher number 1, only to have him play RT.

I am pretty sure you read, but brother you failed miserably to comprehend what I wrote.

I was delivering the death blow about GC have the gall the call Sherman "good". I think if you reread that portion you'll get it dude.

Again, never said the REASON Sean Smith sucks is because he's not that fast.

You people are complete ****ing idiots.

If he had elite speed he'd probably still suck.

The Fisher prediction is just my guess and not based on any concrete info. Just what Reid has liked from his OTs in the past.

I'd heard Geoff Schwartz reminds him of Welbourne.

It was mainly about his T-rex arms buddy, I can't bring myself to look up two guys arm length, but I thought his were at least 3-4 inches shorter than Fisher and plus I think he has pretty much tapped out his potential. Fisher is nasty and is no where near his ceiling yet. As dumb as it may seem, long arms really do help or hurt that position. Just my preference, Joker may end up being better.

Thanks for the rumors you pass along. And for the way you are so clear about what you've heard and what you speculate, etc.
