Warren Sapp is reportedly in danger of being released by the Raiders.
Oakland has developed top-notch depth on the defensive line and may need cap room to sign JaMarcus Russell. Zack Crockett will likely be the first to go. Numerous NFL sources have suggested Kiffin, 32, wants to rid the team of players who are close to his age or older. Kiffin, sources say, doesn't want players with influence who might threaten his authority.
So team leaders such as fullback Zack Crockett, 34, and -- yes, believe it -- defensive tackle Warren Sapp, 34, are in big trouble. Even if Sapp, who admirably dropped 49 pounds (@ 285 now) in six months, comes to camp looking like a Pro Bowler, he's probably wasting his time.
Sapp showed he still has a lot left in the tank with a huge 2006 season (10 sacks, 67 total tackles). At his new weight, the 34-year-old should remain a highly productive under tackle with Terdell Sands on the nose.

I think he would be a great pick-up if the price is right, and we cut ties with Corey Simon. We may have enough cash available at least short-term to get a deal done.
