On the same day that Tennessee’s Rob Bironas became the highest-paid kicker in NFL history, the Oakland Raiders were on the verge of making

the highest-paid punter in NFL history.

Lechler and the Raiders reached an agreement Wedneday night on a four-year, $12 million deal that keeps the punter off the market and sets a new salary benchmark for the position

Good move Al, now if we can just get some defense we'll be good.

 

[Meta4iCAL]

good shit... glad to see Lechler sticking around... that field position helps us A LOT in games

 

[Meta4iCAL]

Good move Al, now if we can just get some defense we'll be good.

you forgot about O-Line... and WR's...

but yeah on D we need to beef up that D-Line... and look for a solid MLB... that way we can move Morrison outside

THANKS SPIDER.

 

[M.o.B]

Good move But O-line is the hole we need to fix I don't think we will cut huff he will count against the cap

 

[M.o.B]

Adam schefter said that jerry porter might be on his way back to oak

 

[Chree]

Raiders now have 8 Mil in cap space after cuts and signing Lechler

 

[M.o.B]

Is that icluding curry?

 

[Chree]

Well, the Raiders had 4 mil space
-2 mil for CJs salary in 09
+2.3 mil for cutting Curry
-2 Mil for Lechlers salary in 09

They actually have 2.3 Mil in cap space, if they cut kwame, that goes up to 9 mil

 

[M.o.B]

Cut his ass he's like the worst player I have ever seen

 

[Chree]

Well, the Raiders had 4 mil space
-2 mil for CJs salary in 09
+2.3 mil for cutting Curry
-2 Mil for Lechlers salary in 09
+7.2 Mil if they cut Kwame
-11.97 Mil Franchise Tag for Aso


So With that they would be 2.47 Mil over the cap, with no money to sign their picks....

 

[M.o.B]

They Will sign the pick

 

[Meta4iCAL]

FUCK YOU CHREE. THE PICKS WILL BE SIGNED. THE RAAYDUHS WILL BE BACK TO GREATNESS!

 

[M.o.B]

Haha thank you!
But yeah were fucked up on money right now....

 

[drew bryant]

The Raiders are reportedly showing heavy interest in free agent Jerry Porter and are likely to sign him soon.
Porter clashed with Oakland coach Art Shell in 2006, but had an OK contract year in 2007 before busting in Jacksonville last season. He shouldn't cost more than the minimum and the Raiders lack much experience at wideout.

NFL.com Blogs Blog Archive Will Porter be back in Raiders black? couldnt be any worse than javon walker but this makes me wonder what they are gonna do with that 7th pick
