OL Branden Albert for TE Julius Thomas?

Dolphins working to finalize trade sending Branden Albert to Jaguars for Julius Thomas
So basically shit for slightly better

Shit. Jags get a questionable talent at OT and Tannehill gets a TE he can under and over throw in crucial game situations.
I dont hate it.

Phins are also looking to trade for a starting CB. I like DRC but for the right price I would part with him. I just don't think the Phins have much too offer outside a draft pick.

Last season they traded for Kiko Alonzo and Maxwell from the Eagles. Prices was that they swap first round picks with the Eagles. Eagles got pick 8 (which they traded up to draft Wentz) and Phins got pick 13 (Tunsil). Phins pick 22 which is not worth trading DRC. Now a second round pick would be great. But they prob wont do that.
Why is Albert shit

No they were going to, then teams became interested in signing him so they are trying to trade him instead.
Didn't Jax just pick-up an option on Thomas?  
Diver_Down : 2/19/2017 4:44 pm : link
I think it was 3 million just a week ago.
If this happens

higher chance of Howard or Njoku lasting to our pick.

Yes, increases the chance that Miami would take Robinson or Ramcyzk if they are there.

Miami is moving Tunsil to LT so I don't know if an OT is high on their list as opposed to a guard.

Just so you are consistent in your standards, I presume you think Pugh is shit also?

They could play Robinson at LG
I dont know much about Albert but..  
EricJ : 2/19/2017 6:08 pm : link
I know I would not want Julius Thomas on my team
From 2012 until 2016  
Big Blue '56 : 2/19/2017 6:17 pm : link
these are the games Albert played in: 13, 12, 9, 14 12


Who wants that playing OLT?
Better  
XBRONX : 2/19/2017 6:33 pm : link
than Flowers playing 16
I thought the wrap this offseason on Albert  
adamg : 2/19/2017 6:50 pm : link
Is that he'd be more suited for guard at this stage of his career

I'm not sure what 67 has to do with this thread, but I'll play anyway. Not a Pugh fan. Never was. But he is, currently, our best OL by default. I think he's in an advantage position in that he's going to cash in on a nice extension here knowing we cannot afford to lose him with the otherwise awful state of the OL.

Diver_Down : 2/19/2017 7:17 pm : link
You concluded that Albert is shit based on being injured too often. I asked if you would apply the same standard and conclusion.

Even though you didn't succinctly describe Pugh's abilities as you summarized Albert's, I agree with your summary regarding Pugh's career track. I have just seen so many on BBI who are quick to summarily dismiss other players then are quick to laud what is currently the best of the worst what we trot out for an OL.

The Fish needs Guards, not Tackles.
c'mon Reece  
SHO'NUFF : 2/19/2017 11:18 pm : link
you couldn't deal Larry Donnell for Albert? Leaping Larry is twice the TE that Julius Thomas is! asleep at the wheel yet again!
Weird thing about this - they just guaranteed $3M of Thomas'  
jcn56 : 2/19/2017 11:27 pm : link
salary last week. Had they cut him before that, they would have drastically reduced the dead cap money. You can say they're using him to get Albert, but Albert's due to be paid $8M for this season, and a chunk of money is going to accelerate on Thomas being traded. That's an ineffective use of available cap space to say the least.
