BA to Miami talks back on

3

ESPN's Ed Werder reported on SportsCenter Wednesday that the Dolphins have "resumed dialogue" with the Chiefs regarding Branden Albert. ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported Monday the sides had had "little or no communication" in "almost two weeks," but urgency is setting in for desperate Dolphins contract-year GM Jeff Ireland. Werder confirms Kansas City wants one of Miami's two second-round picks (Nos. 42, 54). Werder reported Albert is targeting a deal worth $36 million over four seasons, which is more than what the Rams gave Jake Long and Texans paid Duane Brown. "He wants to be paid like an elite tackle," Werder stated. Ireland has enough job insecurity to cave.
