Punter Shane Lechler and the Raiders reached an agreement on a four-year, $12 million deal that keeps the punter in Oakland and sets a new salary benchmark for the position. The contract includes $9 million in guaranteed money.
Lechler, who made $1.5 million last season, has the highest career punting average in NFL history at 46.8 yards. He led the NFL last season with a 41.2 net average, slightly bettering the NFL record he set in 2007.
