Mike Longas stint since the Miami Dolphinsa starting left tackle finished when he signed for the St Louis Rams. It's now exposed a huge gap on the Dolphinsa offensive point, as well as suggestions that the Dolphins may possibly investigate an industry. Adam Schefter of ESPN, described earlier the other day that Kansas City were in trade talks with the Miami Dolphins,Afollowing Brandon Albertas decision to sign his business tender. Brandon Albert is dueA$9 millionAthis year, and while the Dolphins have enough money to sign Albert, they werenat willing to pay big money to Jake Long. Even though Albert has outperformed Long before couple of seasons, there are similarities between your two. Albert, like Long, had injury issues throughout the last year, where he was troubled by a right back injury for some of November and December. Additionally, Albert, at 28, is older one year the Long. Eventually, Albert, like Long, would like a large payday. While itas unlikely that money was Longas main motivation for going to St Louis, his decision to leave suggests Miami werenat willing to part with big money for him. If thatas the case, then why would they spend a lot more to sign Albert, who is one year his senior, and also had damage issues last year? Albert was very vocal concerning the decision to team tag him. And equally vocal about not wanting to proceed to right tackle to allow for a novice on the left side, leading to him shutting down his Twitter account. There is nothing to recommend Albert doesnat give his all on the training ground or the gridiron, but aoutspokena is scarcely a desirable character trait in Philbinas locker room. Then perhaps parting with a draft pick can, if all these concerns still donat set Miami off Albert. Tim Ireland did a good work stockpiling picks with this yearas Draft. It hardly seems practical, though it wouldnat be a shock to deal a pick for a person in a draft which is piled with stable fights. As ESPN reported, if Miami wanted to give up a pick, then why not give up a second and industry up in the draft to pick among the top-three tackles? Henry Joeckel might be out of reach, but Eric Fisher and Lane Johnson could be possible objectives. They would not just enhance the Dolphinsa youth motion, but would also come at a fraction of the price tag on Alberta'without medical or identity question marks. With all things considered, there is a great deal that doesnat make sense surrounding this story. The price of finding Albert seems very good, and thinking about the powerful draft type, surely having a young tackle makes more sense if the Leading Office are uncomfortable with Martin protecting Ryan Tannehillas blindside. Ultimately, the move not just appears like one that Miami shouldnat make, in addition, it resembles a that Miami wonat make. And donat forget, the Dolphins were linked with trading a pick for Ravensa limited conclusion, Dennis Pitta, late a week ago. Those rumours basically preceded Miamias signing of Dustin Keller.
