The Denver Broncos have traded defensive tackle Gerard Warren to the Oakland Raiders, Pro Football Talk is reporting.

 The deal sends an undisclosed 2008 draft pick from Oakland to Denver. Most likely, it will be a conditional pick, meaning the more production the Raiders get from Warren, the higher pick they’ll have to send to the Broncos as compensation.
There’s a lot of animosity between the Raiders’ and Broncos’ front offices, and Mile High Report notes that this is the first trade between the teams since 1993, when the Raiders sent a third-round pick to Denver for running back Gaston Green.

The 29-year-old Warren has incredible physical talent, which is why the Cleveland Browns made him the third pick in the 2001 NFL draft. But he has never quite lived up to that talent. He spent his first four seasons with the Browns and the last two with the Broncos, but the Denver coaching staff has made it clear since the start of training camp that Warren isn’t in their long-term plans.
The Broncos, who lost Ebenezer Ekuban for the season over the weekend, are completely overhauling their defensive line, with rookies Jarvis Moss, Tim Crowder and Marcus Thomas all expected to get significant playing time
