I really hope that some kind of reasonable deal can be worked out. It is true that Albert isn't worth more than his current contract gives him. Unfortunately, the Jaguars need him more than he needs the Jaguars. I realize that this is not what most Jaguars fans believe. I am sick and tired of our offensive line being so inept. Cam Robinson has the "potential" to eventually become a very good left tackle. However, he is not yet ready. Watch how Derek Barnett abused him. Barnett is a good pass rusher, but Robinson will go up against guys like this regularly in the NFL. Why ruin this guy's confidence when you have a solid veteran on your roster who can step right in? Robinson can be a very good guard right now and the team's running game should be greatly improved with the upgrades of Albert, Robinson, Fournette and whoever wins the fullback job. 

 

I would not be against giving Albert a reasonable incentive if he plays the entire season and grades out well. If that is all it takes to get him into camp, it would be worth it. To those who say he is greedy and doesn't deserve another penny, tell me the name of one NFL player who isn't? At least this guy has made two pro bowls, which is pretty much more than the rest of the team combined.
