Blackledge started a game in ’87 though. Either way it is insane!

The chiefs havent drafted a qb who has won a game for them since Todd Blackledge in 1987!

It was actually ’83, they passed up Dan Marino and Jim Kelly in favor of Blackledge.

I think Andy Reid might be convinced to trade him away for a whole bunch of meat products.

KC made a huge mistake in franchising Albert. They should have let him hit the open market. I can’t believe they were that abundantly stupid.

This guy is delusional to believe he is worth 11 million. He doesn’t have the skills to demand anything near that.

Not understanding why Andy would franchise a guy with back problems & then trade him and expect him to be attractive to other teams…. Oh yeah he is also making $11mil under the tag! Hello, you have the #1 pick, you can get a young, cheap OT in the draft.

If the Chiefs were smart, then Brandon Albert wouldn’t be on the roster today. He wasn’t a good draft choice for them at the time they picked him, and they have now wasted 5 years to accomplish nothing. That’s a lot of missed value to not capitalize on, not to mention the waste of every other player over that same time period. It’s time for KC to start thinking about planning for the long term for the first time, instead of feverishly trying to scratch the itch of today and getting overly consumed by costly and inefficient strategy designs.

Chiefs should’ve transition tagged him instead of franchise tagged him if they didn’t want to pay him that much money. Serious mistake on their part.

Best thing to do now would be to rescind the franchise tag and let him see the money he wants just isn’t there.

any team will “listen” to any offers for any player

After Long signed it set the market, Albert doesn’t want 8.5 per. He believes he’s worth 11-12 million. Bushrod is an ascending player and got only 7.5. Albert is insane.

Perfect spot for a team interested in Geno Smith and needing a LT. Trade spots in rd 1 and a 2rd round pick would do the trick as long as they were top 10 picks.

An Andy Reid trade is always trade bait. Dont do it..

Trade him to Dallas for Spencer. Dallas need better linemen and KC needs more pass rushers. Both teams could benefit greatly by signing them to long term contracts and getting rid of the franchise tag numbers. Win win for all involved.

Wow, amazing if true

Peter King has been Andy Reid’s main shill for years. A team would have to be crazy to trade for this guy at those numbers.

Of course they would like to trade a LT with high potential of continuing back problems— One that they designated as a Franchise Player…??

No thanks!

The market has set the LT value at $8.5m/year for Jake Long and Albert has received the franchise tag at $11m approx. Where is his motivation to receive a lesser deal?

“Peter King of SI.com reports that the Chiefs will listen to any trade proposals made by others.”

Well Peter should know. After all, he picked them to win the freakin Super Bowl last year.
