It seems like a perfect fit, right?

Dolphins linemen are falling like leaves.

Branden Albert is a free agent.

So why hasn’t there been a reunion in Miami?

Because Albert, the former Pro Bowl left tackle, truly is retired.

A league source tells the Miami Herald that Albert has no desire to play anymore.

That explains his behavior in Jacksonville, who traded for Albert in the spring, only to see him announce his retirement at the start of training camp.

He tried to return to football two weeks later, but that might have been for financial reasons.
