NFL Rumors – Saints Want Branden Albert

[QUOTE=Danno;489674]So that means every player on the team sucks?

Thats extremely shortsighted.[/

It's my opinion, I remember you bashing people on another thread for their opinion, looks like you're doing it again. Yes I do believe with the exception of a handful of players the majority of that team sucks.

Being shortsighted may apply to you as well, my opinion.

Albert was the OT I most wanted out of all the possible FAs this offseason before he got the tag placed on him.

I'd be all for getting him in the black & gold, because he would be an upgrade over Bushrod, but as it stands now, he has that $9.8M tag on him for next season and that's way too much money for the Saints. They'd need to negotiate a new contract with him to coincide with the trade and Albert would be probably looking for Jake Long type of money - in the ball park of $9M/yr. I just don't think the Saints can afford him, and that's why he'll probably end up in Miami out of the potential suitors mentioned in the article.

He's a really good LT, but he hasn't been happy in Kansas City - who would be? - and his services are pricey; those are the two main reasons why the Chiefs might be looking for a trading partner for his services.

Same assessment from me. Better than Bushrod, much better than anyone we still have, but still far too expensive for us. I don't see how we can get this done.

Draft a LT. if K.C. is asking to much or trade a player of equal value.
