(AP/CBS4) IRVING, Texas There's been no word from the Denver Broncos Wednesday on the future of tackle Gerard Warren.
Broncos coach Mike Shanahan said this week the team is trying to trade Warren but the 7 year veteran may be released if a deal can't be made.
“When I know something about Gerard, I’ll let you guys know," Shanahan said Wednesday morning after practice in Irving, Texas.
There have been rumors in Indianapolis that the Colts mat be in Warren but coach Tony Dungy declined comment Tuesday. The Colts may be in the market for a veteran tackle because Anthony McFarland has been placed on injured reserve and will miss the rest of the season. Warren's agent, Joel Segal, declined to comment.
The Denver Broncos are in the Dallas area this week to practice against the Cowboys ahead of Saturday's preseason game.
“Obviously (the Cowboys) are very competitive guys, they want to be out here, but at the same time we understand we’re servicing each other," Shanahan said. "It’s a practice format. It’s not a live game situation. In a game situation when everybody is going full speed, it’s much different than this. I think we have two class organizations that know how to work against each other, so I’d be surprised if anything comes up.
“I think the Cowboys are one of the few teams that have the opportunity in the NFC to go to the Super Bowl. I look at probably five of them, obviously I won’t call off all of their names right now, but the Dallas Cowboys have a very strong football team offensively and defensively and it’s great to work against them.
“You’re in the third week of two-a-days, so it’s always nice to work against somebody else. You get a real good feel for your own personnel. To go against somebody different is a plus and then to go against a different scheme both offensively and defensively. I think it helps both teams. What we’re trying to do is get them ready for everything. They all have a good feel for what we do offensively and defensively by the third week of camp and after going through 17 OTA days, they get a very good feel about not only what you’re doing but your personnel doing it. So to go in these conditions is a really big benefit for Dallas and ourselves.
“Well, we work against the 3-4 all through the preseason. Our first three games are 3-4 teams. We’ll see it a number of times this year, and it’s just the opposite for Dallas. They see a number of four-man fronts this year, so both teams get to work against things they’re going to see during the season not necessarily what your offense or defense uses. We use a little bit more of a zone-blocking scheme than Dallas does. Dallas will use a little bit more power and counters than we do, so it’s good for both defenses and offenses to see a little different look.”
