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 believe that Chiefsplanet protocol requires me to call you a number of names, inquire about your lack of brain matter, and make reference to your mother's promiscuity.

I like Bess too, but I don't know what he can add here. We just picked up Donnie Avery to do what Bess does.

And plus, we have McCluster too. *runs and hides*

This.

Why the **** would you be arguing Flacco vs. Smith anyway?

So Albert isn't traded yet, right?...

Who's starting the draft thread?

I'd be all over this shit normally, but we've got bunch of tiny-dicked assholes running the franchise. Plus, I was the one responsible for the last HUGE abortion (2009 draft)

Start it. It's your chance at redemption.

You can't jinx a GM's 1st draft two times in a row.

Can we unblock Blackmon? Ban him for Jokel, laugh in his face for anyone else?
