Will Dolphins be NFL's high-bidder for left tackle free agents? - Sun Sentinel
That same concern will likely surface this weekend when the Dolphins begin discussing contracts with Albert, and the other top end left tackle prospects – Ravens offensive tackle Eugene Monroe, Oakland's Jared Veldheer and Cincinnati's Anthony Collins – on the market when negotiations begin on Saturday, and visits and signings start on Tuesday at 4 p.m. Will the Dolphins give an offensive tackle the $9 million a year salary the franchise balked at when Albert requested it last year?
Marcus Cooper an important piece for Kansas City Chiefs - ESPN
Getting Cooper back to the player he was in the first half of the season should be an offseason priority for the Chiefs when they gather for the start of their offseason work next month. The Chiefs have a couple of established veterans at cornerback in Brandon Flowers and Sean Smith, but the Cooper from the first half of last season completes the set.

How it could work out: Jeromey Clary, the main right guard for the Chargers last season, is under contract for 2014. The Chargers admire Clary, 30, for his toughness and his guard-tackle versatility. His return would be welcomed by, among others, center Nick Hardwick, a linemate for seven years. If the Chargers chose to save money by cutting Clary, whose salary is $4.55 million, they would want to consider Asamoah, who is five years younger and more experienced at guard.

"Through the CCCT, this department affords us the opportunity to reach the community to help uplift those in need and support the Kansas City area."
