I'm certain that
(Albert's current offer) + (Colquitt's contract) - (Lechler's contract) would get Albert signed. |

He's not the only one being let go. If Lechler had been clutch last year he might have been resigned. But if average or alright is all we're going to get, we can pay other people less for that. That's pretty much the modus operandi for McKenzie this year.

Andy Lee has been better for the past few years. We should try and trade for Lee if the 49ers draft a young punter
