In the end it was a slight loss to the Jaguars in terms of competition and having a good veteran mentor for rookie Cam Robinson.  It was also a loss for the Dolphins in that they returned the 7th round pick and lost the $3+ million paid to Albert.

I wouldn't personally consider a guy who skipped the voluntary team activities, then shows up out of shape, then retires, then un-retires a good mentor.

In hindsight I wouldn't either.  However, what could have been is not the same as what went down.  The intent was for him to either be a fix at the position or compete with the rookie and possibly mentor him as he learned the NFL game vs. the college game.  Remember, he was acquired before the team even drafted Cam.

It's pretty clear now that for him it was all about the money and never about the game.  By all means I think Albert is pretty much garbage and done.
