No there not. I read Plackemeier beat him out last season to get the spot. It's suprising to see him here now.
Shane Lechler is a Pro-Bowl punter and will command some big bucks. We'll not be the only team looking to sign him, not to mention Oakland will want to retain him. He will be cheaper than other free agents like Haynesworth and Peppers. He'd be my priority FA pick up this season along with an OT. Unlike Haynesworth or Peppers I'm willing to go out on a limb and say he'd be worth the money.
Our staff like to take their time developing linemen and anyone we'd draft wouldn't be thrown in there until Jansen's and Heyer's backs break in week 12.
If we did sign Lechler he'd be able to start right away. Personally I miss Derrek Frost, just because he liked to hit people and did.
