Chiefs Dolphins working on a trade for offensive tackle Branden Albert - Page 342

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.

He won't be a RT, and if he is, for a max of 1 year.

Yeah....so lets NOT hope for that considering he's 2.5hrs away from being a Chief.

Fisher will only be around for 4 with our track record.

As I just said on our show: Don't be shocked if Branden Albert trade doesn't happen until #Dolphins are on the clock. Crazy.

This.

It would also be really nice to get next years first from them, and I think that is rated as a 2nd this year, right?

Fisher is not a sexy pick but he sure as hell is better than *****'* first pick (Tyson Jackson).

Sucks to have 1.1 during a year where there aren't any marquee players, i.e. Luck.

I wonder if this is the 1st or 2nd round round?

Sassy Squatch · 04-25-2013, 03:36 PM

Don't really get how that would work. Assuming a physical would be a big deal for a player with Alberts history

ALRIGHT WE CAN GET OUT 2ND ROUND PICK BACK THAT WE GAVE UP FOR A GAME MANAGER!

First, he's not being drafted to be a long-term RT. If by some miracle Albert is here this year, and he does in fact play LT, this is a one year fix.

Am I happy that this draft has jack and shit at the top of it to take? No, I'm not.

However, I'm not going to jump up and down and cry like a ****ing girl or make some ridiculous claims like "Dorsey hasn't done any due dilligence" because they are taking an offensive tackle at the top of this draft.

Is it what I want? No. But I'm willing to give it a chance.

You mean contract?
