BengalszoneBilly Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 Sapp reverses field, to sign with Raiders March 20, 2004By Jay GlazerSportsLine.com Senior Writer The biggest name remaining in free agency has been taken off the market thanks to a last-minute push by a fitting team. SportsLine.com has learned that Warren Sapp has agreed to a seven-year $36.6 million deal with the Oakland Raiders. "I'm a Raider," said Sapp when contacted on his cell phone. Sapp, however, would not elaborate on the terms of the deal or comment when the deal would be announced. The Bengals had offered $16 million over four years with a signing bonus that exceeded $4 million. Sapp also had marginal interest from a few other teams. The Ravens star defender Ray Lewis and defensive coordinator Mike Nolan made a strong push to their front office to sign Sapp but the perennial Pro Bowler said wanted to have a new home by Monday morning. Sapp awoke on Saturday morning to an offer from a team he has long stated he believed he belonged with -- the Silver and Black. He joins Ted Washington, another Pro Bowl DT, in the Raiders new defensive line under head coach Norv Turner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 I hate being right. Should be interesting to see the structure of the deal. Would have liked to have had Sapp but $5.2 mil/year is a bit steep for him these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanix Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 Once again we are used only as leverage. We reatin the rep of being the Siberia of the NFL. I get thinking Marvin could dig us out of the pits of hell was not in order. Not that I thought we should match that rediculous offer. Who do we go after now???

Bengals44 Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 If sign Bobby Taylor and a safety (Beckett hopefully) we are fine... We can then draft a DT in the first or second rd (Wilfolk probably wont be there, but it would be great if he is)... We can go CB or OG w/ the other pick that we do not on a DT and get one of the toptwo C'S in the third... Of course, you have to somewhat let the draft come to you not always select peurly on need, so that would be a best case scenerio... All hope is not lost, but getting Taylor now would be a nice start... I have to admit that Sapp was intriguing, but he is a di*k and if we gave him a 7-year deal it would have been stupid for a once awesome (and still great) DT on the decline...

HoosierCat Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Forget free agents! Bring on the draft! (Damn...I can't believe I'M saying that!) It's true, tho. Face it, there isn't much left in the FA pool. Marion and Lynch are about it -- but without a d-line or improvement at CB I can't get too excited about signing an aging safety. I'd rather resign Beckett and see if we can't continue to develop him.At this point, I think the FA period has pretty much been a failure for the bengals. They've cut a bunch of starters and failed to replace them. They've signed a few players who don't appear to represent much more than slight improvements over their predecessors. They failed to land a vet corner or DT. And Jax forced them to overpay to retain their kicker.Not good at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say "failure", but it sure as hell could have been better. I think signing Nate Webster was the only bright spot. Let's hope we fare better come draft day. We need defensive linemen in the WORST POSSIBLE WAY!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
