Raiders defensive tackle Warren Sapp officially retired from the NFL after a 13-year career on Tuesday.  Sapp finishes with 573 tackles, 96-and-a-half sacks, 19 forced fumbles and four interceptions over 198 career games with Tampa Bay and Oakland.  The seven-time Pro Bowler posted 51 tackles, two forced fumbles and two sacks in 16 games with the Raiders last year.  Sapp earned NFL Defensive Player of the Year honors with Tampa in 1999 and was a pivotal part of the Bucs’ Super Bowl win in 2002.  He spent the first nine years of his career with Tampa before playing four seasons in Oakland.
