Warren Sapp's 13-year NFL career officially ended when his retirement was posted on the Oakland Raiders' Web site. Sapp said immediately after last season that he was through playing, but did not file the paper work. The posting on the team's site was the first official word that the star defensive tackle was done. In January, the 35-year-old Sapp posted a two-word message on his Web site: "I'M DONE!" He had told teammates and coaches his plans after the season finale against San Diego. Considered the quintessential "three technique" defensive tackle - lining up between the offensive guard and tackle - Sapp made seven Pro Bowls, won the 1999 Associated Press Defensive Player of the Year award, and led Tampa Bay's dominant defense that won the Super Bowl after the 2002 season.

Fantasy Analysis
