In Albert, the Jaguars hope he can provide better overall play for quarterback Blake Bortles' blindside than Kelvin Beachum did in 2016. Luke Joeckel was another failed left offensive tackle for Jacksonville, so Albert is viewed as the right veteran to plug this hole.

The Dolphins no longer needed Albert, since they plan to permanently switch second-year O-lineman Laremy Tunsil from left guard to left tackle. Therefore, they quickly struck up this deal to send Albert north to Jacksonville. Miami accepted a seventh rounder in return.

Bortles has plenty of fantasy value, so he should be improved if Albert can better protect oncoming pass rushers. That said, Bortles has several other issues (most of which Albert cannot fix).
