Dolphins working on a trade for offensive tackle Branden Albert

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.

I guess Bowe gets a little credit to if he doesn't sign Albert walks and chiefs get nothing.


Did you not see the IF?

Um, I haven't flip flopped on a single issue here in years.

Last incident was Herm.

Anything is possible...but the support I've gotten from guys like Milk, Hamas, Flop and others regarding what I bring to this site in footbal discussions makes me think I'm doing just fine.

For the third time, answer my original Stanzi question (you already have by dodging it twice), but I'd like to see if you can actually be honest about something and admit you were clearly wrong.

I haven't lied about ANYTHING you tool.

Dane backtracked about the FB stuff when I told him I don't even know his name. When my x passed away 3 years ago, he offered me help in finding a lawyer in the bay area and asked for my info...when I sent that info I said I was on facebook and said if he wanted, he could send me a friend request. He offered the help, I never asked for it...and ftr he never followed through with the help he offered.

I still -to this day- don't know his real name and thats the truth...don't care what you say. I don't lie.

Now, as Stanzi goes I admitted awhile ago that I was wrong about him and that I wouldn't even talk about him unless he ever starts a regular season game. That's why I have ignored your requests to talk about him.

Got anything else, captain ignorant?

Also nice dodge on my question, answer it? Wait I already know the answer is an emphatic "yes! at least that good".

Stop talking about me bringing up the past, GC is shitting his pants about Smith in THIS VERY THREAD, and I know I could find something about DMC probably from this week, but guarantee I could find one in the last month. Because he, much like you, is locked on and delusional and he "just knows".

You are a proven liar already, but I'll prove it again, you have not talked with Clay for "10+" years, you came with Stanzi and good lord, I along with countless others, hope that you leave with him.

Send Dane some more FB friend requests already.

I have not once pointed out GC for being "wrong", I don't want him to flip flop, he has been cornered and proven wrong clearly on his argument points in this very thread

What?

Where is the evidence Sean Smith has elite talent? There is none.

He's not particularly fast, doesn't jump particularly high...we know he doesn't have elite quickness, obviously...he's just a 6-3 turd.

Miami fans think a 2nd round pick is to high.

[Hammock Parties]

when he picks that one player he doesn't like, he becomes completely insane and lies

WHAT?

Where have I lied about Sean Smith?

I'm just going by the facts.

He gets beat. A lot. That is the absolute truth.

He's also not elite from an athletic standpoint.

I'll pretty much back this up, which is why the DMC/SS situations drive me insane. You've emphatically been proven wrong on virtually everything you've said about SS in this thread (crap first down stats given up excepted) and yet you still will not relent and say "I want him to suffer eternal hellfire, but he might be ok/serviceable".

You didn't "know" about DMC and you have pretty much been proven wrong on him and I strongly suspect you will be without a doubt this year (was he cut in training camp last year???).

You don't "know" SS will without a doubt suck, he could very well be average or decent or shit even good. A 6'3 corner with sub 4.5 speed does have an "elite skillset", that is without question yet you will never admit it after clearly being proven wrong.

Does he have to have elite talent for you to be wrong about him? Afterall, your position isn't just that he's not elite, it's that he's terrible. Right?

WHAT? He's a shitty player, and that is not up for debate. Why is this even being discussed? DMC's last hope is that Andy Reid will magically make him good.

I don't think he has sub 4.5 speed.

He ran a 4.51 at the combine and that was five years ago.
