Free agent left tackle Branden Albert must really like South Beach.

Otherwise, how would he have seemingly settled on a destination without having been made a firm offer?

According to Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald, the technicalities are just that, and Albert will “be a Dolphin.”

Of course, Salguero points out that nothing is 100 percent done, which is because by the letter of the law it can’t be. The league has sent out its memo telling teams they can’t do the kind of thing that is apparently being done here, which is share numbers and reach agreements.

Which, of course, no one believes.

Miami landing Albert would be a huge step in rebuilding their offensive line, but more work needs to be done.

As soon as it can be officially done, of course.
