Albert lives in Miami and is just a drive from the facility to sign a new deal.

The Dolphins targeted the left tackle as their No. 1 priority early in the process after failing to consummate a trade with the Kansas City Chiefs last season.

Albert is the No. 7 overall free agent on Around The League's Top 101. He is an elite pass protector, even if an average run blocker.

Keeping Ryan Tannehill upright next season is a priority and will help the young quarterback's progress.

Tannehill should be a happy man today.
