CardinalScotts Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Would they take two former 2nd round picks? I'd trade Aaron Williams and Troup for the guy. funny you mention troup,......one guy with a bad back for another -which is why KC won't commit to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Albert isn't that good. That's why they're trying to trade him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerball Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 They are doing what smart organizations do by giving themselves options whether he remains on the roster or is traded. If they can get value for him on the trade market they can still fill the void with some top notch OT prospects in this year's draft. If a team makes a deal with them they can use a portion of that large cap space to replace him on the OL, but not necessarily at the LT position. In addition, if he is traded they will have a sizeable amount of cap space to use to address other positions on the roster. They are exercising some foresight and flexibility with respect to their roster and cap situation. That is a smart way to do business. Second round pick (if that's accurate) seems like chump change for a LT, but, if you have no plans to re-sign him then I don't have any problem with this. Fans may wail and gnash their teeth, but I'd rather my team get something for their talent. The Chiefs are trying to get back what the 49ers hosed them for with Alex Smith. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Smith is the one (previously) available QB I was hoping the Bills would get this off season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
first_and_ten Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 (edited) The goal was to tag him, not to keep him on the team, but to try and get something back for him after the tag.Maybe a smart move, maybe not. Can a tean cut a guy after he was tagged? Edited March 24, 2013 by first_and_ten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no quarrels with Alex Smith, but a 2nd and a 4th (I believe) for a guy who was likely going to get released is getting hosed my friend, especially for a guy who hasn't proven anything outside of his couple years under Harbaugh.

boyst Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 If we kept either of the OG's we lost that would have let us make one of them trade bait in the next year or two, and had a similar instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerball Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Now apparently available for a second round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Doug Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) Either the Chiefs are totally inept or they're trying to desperately convince another team that the player they're opting to replace in this coming draft is actually pretty good. I don't think they're even going to get a 2nd and may end up releasing him. He's sort of thrown a wrench in the Chiefs' plans of trading him for a couple high picks and drafting a blue chip LT. If I were the Bills, I'd offer a 4th in the 2014 draft and switch him to LG. Edited April 15, 2013 by kas23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ny33 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I would give the Chiefs a third for Albert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) Andy Reid's forte is offensive linemen. If he's looking to trade an offensive lineman you want no part of it. Edited April 15, 2013 by Stealth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 $9.8 million a year + a draft pick is too much when we are trying to re-sign our own good players like Byrd, then CJ and Wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup and that's what folks are missing. To let LEvitre walk and spend those much resources on Albert is azz backwards. And while he is a good player, he is hardly a dominant one or else the Chiefs would keep him. I know this kills the old guys who remember the leather helmet days, but o line is less important than it ever has been. So many teams spread the field now, you get by without dominant linemen.

shibuya Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Albert has been mediocre and inconsistent Nix wasn't in charge of drafting those guys. O, and one isn;t a Buffalo Bill anymore. Nix wasn't in charge of drafting those guys. O, and one isn;t a Buffalo Bill anymore. Um not true. Nix was hired as the top scout that year. We all know it was Jauron who pushed hard for Maybin. it was Nix and company that pushed for Levitre Wood and Byrd, but hey thanks for playing the lets hate on Nix game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
