"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Kansas City Chiefs have given left tackle Branden Albert's agent permission to speak with the Miami Dolphins. But they have not permitted him to visit with the team, ESPN.com's Chris Mortensen reported on Thursday.The Chiefs are considering trading Albert, and they gave Albert's agent permission to help facilitate a trade for a second-round draft pick. Albert does not have permission to speak to other teams about a contract.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Albert, 28, has signed a franchise tender worth $9.82 million next season, but he has not participated in the Chiefs' voluntary offseason program. He has expressed the desire for a long-term contract.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Andy Reid just clarified KC has given permission to Dolphins to speak with Brandon Albert's agent but no visit or physical allowed yet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2014 Chris Mortensen (@mortreport) April 18, 2013&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Reid says he was so engaged in football he misunderstood GM John Dorsey, leading to his refute of reports re: Albert &amp;amp; possible trade.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2014 Chris Mortensen (@mortreport) April 18, 2013&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Reid thought it was dead issue because no talks between teams for 2 days &amp;amp; Dorsey declined Albert visit without substantive trade offer.\n\u2014 Chris Mortensen (@mortreport) April 18, 2013&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
