hated it after a season where Tannehill was sacked 1,000 times?
Miami gets blamed for going after the #1 free agent and position of need?

If anything, you trade him. You don't cut him to save only $3M

The only trade I would consider is a top 15 guard under age 30 with no injury history. Otherwise, it is foolish to move Albert this year. Injuries will happen and we need all the depth to keep Tannehill upright.
If you trade Albert, you save $5.015M. I personally don't care what he thinks and should play him at G. Tunsil & Albert would be great. On a more positive note, you save about $1.6M by giving Dallas Thomas the axe.
I love the "Tunsil at guard is a stupid move"...why?
He's a rookie and willing to do what the team wants...
Anything is an upgrade over Thomas as the position...
Player 1 year inside will not stunt his growth...
Keeping your best lineman happy (Albert) is never a dumb move...
Right now, you do what you need to get your best 5 on the field...Tunsil player guard does that...hell this line was actually OK when everyone is healthy, now it should be better.

also how is a 5th round pick ever going to help us? you have to gamble that he will be healthy. You have to gamble on the free agent they went after

Since when do we have enough good O-line personnel to get rid of good linemen? Seriously, not now.

We save nothing by cutting Albert this year in reality. His dead cap is 11 million and replacing him would not be easy. We dont need to put more cap hits into future.
Next year his dead cap is just 3 million that would be a better time to cut

nobody is taking that contract with his recent injury history

I would prefer to move Albert to guard a position he has actually played
almost 10 years ago....
sorry, I cannot understand why we would even CONSIDER moving/trading/cutting albert. 1st, we don't need the cap room. 2nd, we aren't talented enough at all five positions and backups to needlessly move our best lineman. yes, he is still the best one we have until tunsil proves he belongs. Just idiotic to even consider.

Tua time!
exactly, Jonathan Ogden played LG when he was drafted for a year...he's in the HOF. look at the Cowboys Tyron Smith played RT for two seasons, both Zach Martin and La'el Collins were considered first round talent at OT that made the move inside because that is what the team needed. this whole discussion is ridiculous.
There is legitimate argument to be made regarding Albert shifting back to his college position of guard as he gets older...since we have Tunsil in the fold.
But only if he was willing...if not Albert stays where he is and Tunsil gets his feet wet at guard.

You said it. The whole idea is ludicrous.
