What would it take to get Lechler....? Well he does work for Al Davis for now......until he gets fired. Kinda looks like the thread has run it's course...but it's the traiders ya never know.

RAIDERS REEL IN LECHLER
Posted by Mike Florio on February 18, 2009, 9:47 p.m.

At a time when it appeared that Raiders punter Shane Lechler would leave via free agency, the team worked out a new contract with the man owning one of the strongest legs in the game.

According to Adam Schefter of NFL Network, Lechler will receive $12 million over four years, with $9 million guaranteed.

Lechler is the first punter to receive an average of $3 million per year.

Some league observers thought that the Raiders were ready to move on, given that Lechler was allegedly thumped on a plane flight home from a road game by defensive tackle Terdell Sands — and that Sands faced no discipline.

Then again, it was just a punter.

The move also clears the way for the Raiders to use the franchise tag on Nnamdi Asomugha. According to RaiderBeat.com, a fairly new team-specific web site with a domain name that is crying out for a cease-and-desist letter from the organization, Asomugha and the team are closing in on a deal.
