Aww, poor guy... Think he might have overestimated his worth a bit?
But he's not completely without suitors:
Would anyone like to see Sapp at "at less-than-market-setting standards" on the Rams?

For the past week, Warren Sapp has sat back and watched as the top-tier defensive tackles got paid. First, Cornelius Griffin cashed in, then Robaire Smith, Rod Coleman and, of course, big Ted Washington.
But it was probably when the second wave kicked in and teams started snapping up mid-level free-agents Steve Martin, Fred Robbins, Brian Young, Josh Williams and Cedric Woodward that Sapp started to get truly antsy.
So it was somewhat predictable Tuesday when the Mouth of the South's always industrious agent, Drew Rosenhaus -- who can do a little talking of his own -- decided to embark on a media offensive regarding Tampa Bay's seeming lack of interest in re-signing his celebrated client. Nobody can stir it up like Rosenhaus, and if it weren't such a transparent attempt to drum up a market for Sapp, you'd have to hand it to the veteran agent for knowing when to try a little razzle-dazzle in the shell game that is free agency

The Baltimore Ravens would love to see Sapp in purple, playing on the same defense as old college teammate Ray Lewis. But that's providing that Sapp's market drops to the level they deem appropriate: about $2 million per year and $2 million to sign. In other words, good veteran role-player money. Other teams such as Kansas City, Chicago, Oakland and maybe St. Louis are thought to have Sapp in their sights at less-than-market-setting standards, as well.
