The Eagles tried to acquire Branden Albert.
Petro talking about it now.
Apparently when Chris Williams went off the board to Chicago, everybody knew the Chiefs were looking at Albert. The Eagles called the Cardinals in an effort to get Albert and the Cardinals not only said no but turned around and informed the Chiefs, allowing them to trade up and make sure they got him. Interesting stuff. |

We traded up to get Albert? I didn't remember that. What did we trade?

I think the Chiefs traded up 2 spots to grab Albert.

I love this kind of stuff. Interesting to see the alliances and rivalries between sports franchises and how they play out off the field. Gotta also believe it happens with regard to free agent negotiations, player agent interactions, trades, etc. Games within the game. Would love to see books written on this subject.

I'm sure there's a good amount of bs being purposely floated about as well to force a team's hand.
