Monday the Seattle Seahawks met with former Miami Dolphins tackle Branden Albert (as well as 2017 undrafted free agent Andrew Lauderdale out of New Hampshire, who spent offseason periods with the New Orleans Saints and San Francisco 49ers), and then the gears of the internet started turning.
As mentioned here, Benjamin Allbright tweeted that Seattle’s workout with Albert was a ploy to leverage a better deal with the Houston Texans in exchange for contract holdout Duane Brown. Since Brown is even better than Albert, this unsubstantiated post prompted a frenzy of interest in a potential Brown deal from the Seahawks community.
