Broncos trade Warren to Raydahs!
- Thread starter thascary1
- Start date
does anyone ever wonder why the AFC west loves to trade with the division?
do the broncos really want to make the raiders better? I mean at first I was like "great trade for the raiders" , but damn if he was really that good, would the donkeys really be trading him? If warren was really that good overall, why would he have been traded all those times?
i think its a good trade - good DT's are hard to come by even if they are trading for "potential"

Sapp doesn't seem to excited about him...
The team's personnel staff was probably thrilled to acquire a former No. 3 overall draft choice from a hated rival like Denver, but somebody forgot to consult Warren Sapp, the Raiders' unofficial tribal chief.
Asked about the trade -- which sends a conditional fifth-round draft pick to the Broncos in 2008 if Warren makes the team, and is contingent upon his passing a physical this morning -- Sapp sounded decidedly cool to the idea.
"If he makes it, he makes it. If he doesn't, he doesn't," Sapp said -- three separate times.
The voluble one went on to say: "He's not going to make or break us. If you don't make or break us, you're irrelevant to us. We're a unit. We're a unit that runs together. I see my eight (defensive linemen). My eight's been here since I first walked in the door and I said, 'There's my eight. . . . I can win with those eight.' And he never came into that picture until I walked into the job this morning. I don't see him cracking that eight. I don't make personnel decisions around here, but I don't see him cracking my eight."
