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.

The fact that many teams with lackluster LT's didn't go after Albert is enough evidence.

No its not. Only 1 team went after Revis. Guess he's not good? Hell as far as we know, no teams were fighting over Alex Smith, how good is he?

Funny that those two got traded while Albert is sitting in the corner by himself.

How often do you think top players get traded?

It doesn't happen often. It has nothing to do with Albert.

Revis really doesn't fit here.

Yeah but there are lots of teams that need a great CB. Since teams weren't fighting for him, guess hes not really that good. Right runkc?

JFC you're stupid. This is how many teams accepted to give Albert his money.

Nobody. N-O-B-O-D-Y. Nobody. Nobody. Nobody.

This place has gone full reerun projecting Albert's worth, a guy that missed games because of his back. The only reason I can think of is being dick bent over Geno. It's like the mob has taken over.

Or the fact there was something reeruned like 6 or 7 LT's with 1st round grades...

It's not just Geno.

It's doing absolutely nothing to improve the team with 1.1.

If Albert's back is ****ed only then will I accept that we did the right thing.

All else points to supreme idiocy.

Your link makes 2 teams (including KC) my link below adds 3 more. So that makes 4 teams.

4 teams = to 1 team? (KC)
