We haven't signed anyone yet & people are already complaining - REALLY??

Some of us want to improve this team in the best way possible. Not just throw money at a problem and say "square peg into square hole, everything is now awesomesauce!" That sort of logic directly leads to Phillip Wheeler signings.

It isnt Albert or nothing. There are better, cheaper, younger, and less injured options available to us. Some of us have the ability to recognize that, its unfortunate that others dont.

lol Wheeler was an excellent signing a year ago.

It seems your mostly aware, you just left out some important information that will better support the notion of passing on Albert. No doubt thats a coincidence.

Veldheer injured his tricep, Albert has a chronic back issue and nearly blew out his knee last year. Freak injuries happen, but in Veldheer case its unlikely to cause problems in the future. Can you say the same about back injuries in older players? Perhaps Albert will prove to be the exception, but history is fairly clear on the way those careers tend to turn out. The numbers being floated around for Veldheer come out as roughly $2 million less per season. The age difference should be obvious.

The numbers floating around for Monroe come out roughly equivalent to Albert. But hes younger and hasnt had major injuries. If your going to pay a player the same salary, common sense dictates you go with the younger and healthier guy.

And sure, our paid talent evaluators will have to make a projection on Collins, but its the same exact projection they are making with Albert. In both cases your trying to decide if the players can continue playing at a high level, on one hand you are projecting based on lack of experience, in the other you are projecting based on age and injuries. Oh, and one of those cases is more expensive than the other.

Now please, enlighten me: what has Brandon Albert done to deserve such loyalty? Other than having the words "Miami Dolphins" associated with him that is.

Please, can you do this with player in free agency? Monroe, Byrd? Monroe may be younger but, I'm hearing he isn't the toughest player in the world.

I know I shouldn't be but I am simply baffled by the hate already with the rumors of the Fins agreeing with Albert on a deal. First off who knows if the "sources" are true. Hickey can't win with some of you all, he is going after a top 10 OT that will be 30 but I imagine they like his leadership (which is what we need) & people on here are so upset. It's NOT madden football you can't just get who you want, maybe he reached out to Monroe & he doesn't want to come here who knows but give the guy a break his mission is to IMPROVE this team and Albert will improve this team if the reports are true & we sign him that's Great.

Lets see how things play out come Tuesday. REMEMBER we probably won't sign every player that comes to visit or we talk to & that's ok. I for one am excited to see what is going to take place.

Posters, such as myself, are posting the same opinions as have been posted for months. Nothing has changed. Speaking for myself, you have no right or reason to complain about posters complaining over moves believed to be wrong. IMO, many of those doing so are very knowledgeable Phans more than entitled to their opinion, and have backed it up, as opposed to some posting that this guy sucks and/or is great, and nothing more than that.

I have valid concerns over paying Albert a Big deal, and have pointed out why. IF that is a problem here, I'm on the wrong forum. IF you have a valid reason as to why I am wrong, post it. I look forward to the debate.
