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.

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.

BINGO

Dude, really?

Jesus ****. If you truthfully hate the team this much, then find a new one. Being a fan of a team where this is the hope can't be rewarding when the guy hasn't played a single snap here.

2-14 earned us the right to draft a RT


we just reached warp clown speed.....the fastest clown speed of any franchise ever

If someone suggested trading for Alex Smith and using 1.1 for a LT back in December you would have ran them off the board.

Sorry Frank but I think you're in denial here.

I don't hate the team I hate the people running it.

Numbers Never Lie: Geno's Stats Misleading

And Alex Smith's arent? If Geno checks down a lot, what does that make Alex Smith?


Never forget:

[Mr. Laz]

hopefully this means our Oline will be rock solid, especially on the edge.

That helps Charles run his stretch plays and Alex Smith to be confident in his protection.


These 2 things will make our offense a shit ton better which will help our defense.

make the best of it

You hate the GM and the HC that's been here for 3 months even before they played one game?

That's some ****ing crazy shit.

[Bootlegged]

I love this offseason.

A real QB, a monster secondary, a very good OL and upgraded run D.

Fisher Asomoah Hudson Schwartz Stephenson/Allen

Bowe
Avery
(Hopefully a FA/Draftee)
McCluster/Wylie/Baldwin

Fasano/Moeki

Charles/Gray/SD

DeVito/pass rusher POE Jackson
Hali DJ draftee Houston
Flowers Berry Abdullah Smith/Robinson

Nice turnaround from hell.

Denial because I want to see how the finished product looks before I pass full judgement?

So your saying they should reach for a QB or try to find the next Derrick Thomas/pass rusher in Dion Jordan or Barking Mingo? It's a crappy hand KC is playing.

Ed Werder on ESPN just reporting that trade talks on hold until both teams make their first picks

[crazycoffey]
