Team decides to part ways with the veteran defensive tackle. Joe Fortenbaugh
The housecleaning in Oakland continues.
After parting ways with wide receiver Javon Walker and defensive end Greg Ellis on Monday, the Raiders were at it again Thursday afternoon as they released defensive tackle Gerard Warren, according to our own Michael Lombardi.
Warren—a nine-year veteran out of Florida—was due a $5.925 million roster bonus on March 14. He started 32 games for the Raiders over the past two years, recording 74 tackles and six sacks.
However, Warren struggled against the run in 2009 and with a big roster bonus coming due, the organization clearly felt it was time to move in another direction.
The 31-year-old was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in 2001 and spent the first four years of his career there before joining the Denver Broncos for a two-year stint in 2005.

At least good ol AL did a couple things rite,Warren was way overpayed and not woth that kind of money,and Walker was a no brainer,he had to go,and Ellis was also overpayed,now if Al can keep his mind rite until the draft,maybe we get a decent player,but knowing him he will take Tebow or a WR!!!!!!!!
This would be a dumb move. They should target Westbrook. More of a competitor, great 3rd down back who can catch, etc. I do NOT like LT wearing green. He's no better than TJ. In fact, he might be worse at this point. Get Westbrook!

Warren will most probably be resigned for a more reasonable $$$ contract unless he gets a better gig somewhere else.
