When the Jacksonville Jaguars traded for Branden Albert this offseason, it was assumed he would be a stop-gap solution at the left tackle position. Already in his thirties, Albert is capable playing at a high level but may not have more than a couple seasons of good football left.
And then news broke that Albert is holding out. Albert wants a new deal before he even engages with his new team. It is a horrible attempt at extracting something from a team that, frankly, doesn’t owe him anything. The Jags, to their credit, have apparently reached out.
