Branden Albert Signs

Home » Chiefs » Branden Albert Signs

Big thanks goes out to Butter and kcchiefsfan56 (and Jason for the insanely early 610 report) for breaking this news in the comments section.

Kansas City Chiefs President Carl Peterson announced on Thursday that the club has agreed to terms of a five-year contract with T Branden Albert. As per Chiefs policy, no other terms of the agreement were made available.

The Chiefs have now agreed to terms with 10 of their 12 draft picks from the 2008 draft class.

Albert (6-5, 316) joined the Chiefs as the club’s second of two first-round selections (15th overall) in the 2008 NFL Draft. He started all 37 games he appeared in at Virginia. He registered 94 knockdowns and 21 key blocks in touchdown resulting drives in his final two seasons. Albert became the fourth freshman offensive lineman in school history to start a bowl game, earning third-team freshman All-American honors.

Albert started all 13 contests for the Cavaliers in 2007, logging 54 knockdowns and key blocks on twelve touchdown resulting drives. During his junior campaign, he graded out at 83.54 blocking consistency, while serving as a team captain. He earned first-team All-Atlantic Coast Conference honors and was named third-team All-America by The NFL Draft Report and Associated Press.

Hey Zach: it's working now, but I even closed the browser and rebooted my machine earlier - I'm pretty sure it weren't a glitch on this end - maybe your hosting service?

I read over on MVN that Dorsey's agent was waiting for a couple more signings in the top ten so they could get a proper handle on the value of the #5 slot - that sounds to me like King Carl is sittin by the checkbook with a large pile of benji's for Glenn... and like it won't take too long once both sides have a real number for the slot value.

I wore #64 back in the days of Superbowl IV... Curt Merz wore it... and our new starting center RUUUDY! is wearing it now.

I donno, the whole Dorsey deal sounds like its going to take a week or so to get him into camp, I really hope not. As long as he shows up in shape, which I think he will, he should be ok.

Krumrie will ride his butt not matter when he gets there, cmon swamp thang make us forget all about OMG.

Sudden

I sported a #58. I'm pretty sure everyone here knows exactly why. If he doesn't get inducted into the Hall of Fame this year, Canton will burn.

This is great news. Thanks to EVERYBODY who made comments about this, but especially JASON for breaking it so insanely early.

And #44.

Zach

Jason - Sorry about that, much props to you.

CMF - What broswer do you use? Did you try refreshing the page?

Let me know if it is still not working after that. Thanks

ArkansasDave

I need a good link for strength of schedule of all the teams! Can someone hook me up?

I wore number 12 - I had great players with me, though. I don't think Brodie will let us down! If he can't score anything else, at least he scored a hot wife!

Adam

I wore 82 in high school (D-Bo, Dante) and 30 in college. Don't let me down, B.J. Sams! Zach wore No. 2--Colquitt, baby!

What number did some of our other ex-football players wear?

xxxlp

Let's just hope that this 76 isn't as bad as our last 76 (John Welbourn). Pssh, Welbourn gives all of us who ever wore the ol' #76 a bad rep. ><

Vrod74-MikeSD,

Give credit where credit is do and, as well, the blame it belongs. King Carl has done a pretty good job of getting players into camp this year. The Dorsey deal sounds like it is completely out of his hands for the moment.

Make that GD, not GC.

If I had to guess, I'd say GC will miss at least half of training camp given that his agent has decided to posture Dorsey as a hold out.

Adam/Zach - there's some kind of code glitch on the home page - none of the main posts are coming up, and the 'recent comments' section is not displaying properly... and not all of those comments will actually link to the page where the comment was posted. `CMF

Vrod74-MikeSD

So how many days of camp do you folks think Glenn will miss?

YYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! ONE MORE TO GO (I know our last 7th rounder hasn't signed, but there is a good reason for it, his leg injury.)

CARL GET DORSEY DONE TODAY!!!!!!!!!

taylor

this is great news because now king carl can focus all his attention on getting swamp thing signed to a deal

kcchiefsfan56

JASON

Zach,

I think Jason actually earns the hat tip on this one. Not to take away from either Butter or kcchiefsfan56, but he posted on it almost an hour earlier in the Clark Hunt thread. Just sayin' yo.
