ENGLEWOOD, Colo. Tony Gonzalez Pink Jersey . -- Ty Warren just returned to the field and already hes taking shots at quarterbacks. Playfully, of course. And from the safety of a podium. Since the Denver Broncos defensive lineman once played with Tom Brady in New England and now has Peyton Manning running the show in the Mile High City, Warren was asked where he stood on the QB debate. As in, whos better under centre. "Manning, all day, man," Warren said, laughing. "What do you want me to say? Thats my teammate!" Warren was actually a surprise visitor on Wednesday after agreeing to a restructured deal in time to join his teammates on the field for voluntary workouts. Lately, Warren hasnt seen a lot of the field, sitting out 2010 with a hip injury while with the Patriots and missing all of last season in Denver when he had surgery to repair his torn right triceps. Given his injury-riddled past, the team was hoping Warren would take a pay cut. He understood the business decision, saying, "Ultimately, we met at middle ground and got the deal done." No hurt feelings, either. Now, theres just an interest in making up for lost snaps. Hardly surprising, he feels fresher than he has in quite a while. Then again, he hasnt started a game since December 2009. "As far as my body feeling good, I havent felt this good -- I dont know, since I was bigger than everybody else in high school, and I could go play a game and dominate and walk away without a scratch on me," Warren said. "Its been a long time since I felt as good as I feel." Warren signed a two-year, $8 million deal last August, shortly after his release from the Patriots. But drawing a big paycheque last season for sitting on the sideline left a sour taste and he feels like he has a little something to prove. "The past couple of years, unfortunately you cant control that stuff," he said. "I dont go into a deal saying, I have to go have hip surgery or come into Broncos camp saying, Im going to tear my triceps. "I definitely hated fact that I wasnt able to do anything for the way I was compensated. I do have a conscience, in that sense." For Warren, the decision to stay put boiled down to this -- his family. "If things didnt work out, was it worth moving my kids back across the country at this point?" the 31-year-old said. "Who knows what amount of money or what the circumstances might have been? I wouldve had to evaluate that, just because of the size of my family and the point my young ladies are at at this point of their lives." Warren was the centerpiece of the Broncos modest free agency plan last season, but he was injured in early August and had surgery a week later. The team initially held out hope he might be able to return, only to place him on injured reserve in mid-September. "It definitely was a blow," he said. "I had every intention to come in, earn my spot on the team, make an impact on the team, as I have in years before when I was healthy. "From the time of the injury all the way up until this whole renegotiating deal, even after that, I continued to work. It was a bump in the road. When you have perspective, you can overcome that stuff." Every think about calling it quits? "I never thought about the "R" word or anything like that," he said, referring to retirement. Warren will now be part of a rotation of defensive tackles that will include Justin Bannan, Kevin Vickerson and rookie Derek Wolfe. Hes also eager to create more opportunities for the defensive end tandem of Elvis Dumervil and Von Miller to rush the quarterback. "I watched film with those guys although I wasnt on the field -- I pretty much was there right along on the whole ride with them without being on the field," Warren said. "Im definitely excited about having those guys on the edge because, personally, its been a long time." Then theres this: After years of chasing after Manning, Warren is elated to be his teammate. "When I found out that he came here, I was on alert just like everybody else was on alert," he said. "Just for the simple fact that his track record, it speaks for itself. ... And lets be honest, a guy like that makes your life easy. He makes everybodys life easy." NOTES: DB Chris Harris said the defence picked off Manning five times in practice on Tuesday. Asked if they were for sure all off Manning, he laughed and said, "I think we got Peyton five times. ... Its a great feeling picking off Peyton, but its just OTAs. Weve still got a long ways to go. Its just great when you can finally get them." William Moore Jersey . The Timberwolves and Portland Trail Blazers engaged in sign-and-trade talks all day on Thursday with the Wolves hoping to land the versatile 23-year-old swingman. Roddy White Youth Jersey .Y. -- Its lights out for Shawne Merriman in Buffalo after the Bills cut the one-time star pass rusher Monday. http://www.shopnflfalconsgears.com/nike-sam-baker-pink-jersey/ . Carrolls place in Brendan Rodgers squad has been under scrutiny since the new Liverpool manager took charge this summer and refused to make the striker a key part of his plans. Liverpool said in a brief statement that Carroll "will spend the whole of 2012-13 with Sam Allardyces team. Stephen Nicholas Jersey . Alonso went 2 for 4 with 3 RBIs and the San Diego Padres used a five-run fourth inning to beat the Houston Astros 8-4 on Wednesday. Tyson Clabo Jersey . The 2012 Draft marks the 50th year the league has taken turns bolstering their line-ups with top junior talent.PHILADELPHIA -- Joe Banner has left the Philadelphia Eagles on his own terms. Banner has stepped down as team president and will take on an advisory role while he pursues other opportunities in the NFL. Banner will be succeeded as president by chief operating officer Don Smolenski. Both Banner and owner Jeffery Lurie said it was a mutual decision, disputing any suggestion that Banner was pushed out in a power struggle with general manager Howie Roseman and coach Andy Reid. Roseman will assume more responsibilities while Reids remain the same, Lurie said at a news conference Thursday afternoon. Reid called Banner the "best president" in the NFL. "It has been my privilege to work with Jeffrey Lurie over all these years," Banner said. "Together we have built a talented front office team that is now ready to assume leadership of this extraordinary franchise. I plan to pursue a major new opportunity within the sports field -- one that will enable me to apply all that I have learned as the Eagles president. I could never thank Jeff enough for the opportunity and support he has afforded me." Banner has occupied a leadership role with the team since it was purchased in 1994 by Lurie, his longtime friend. Hell stay on as an adviser to Lurie. "There is no better executive in sports than Joe Banner," Lurie said. "We are making this announcement today because he is looking for a greater challenge, and in Don Smolenski I have a highly regarrded, very worthy successor as president of this team. Roddy White Pink Jersey. Joe and I have achieved a great deal since I acquired the team. From building Lincoln Financial Field and the NovaCare Complex, to driving the work of the Eagles Youth Partnership and, of course, our successes on the field, Joe has been an integral part of everything we have done." Smolenski joined the Eagles in 1998 as vice-president and chief financial officer before being chosen chief operating officer in 2010. He was previously the CFO of the International Hockey League. Smolenski said he will have no role in player personnel, leaving that to Roseman and Reid. "Joe has been a great friend, teacher and mentor," Smolenski said. "His support and confidence have been instrumental to my growth and development in the organization. As the Eagles new president, Im excited to build on the work weve done together over the years." Banner was considered an expert in mastering the salary cap. But he often was the target of strong criticism by fans for some of his public comments. The Eagles reached the NFC championship game five times and the Super Bowl once during Banners tenure, but the franchise hasnt won a title since 1960. Banner said hes already received calls from people interested in working with him. He hopes to stay in the NFL and work for a "turnaround" team. He said theres a "reasonable chance" hell remain with the Eagles through this season. ' ' ' |
