If Shane Lechler has played his last game as a Raider, it would be “a tremendous blow,” interim coach Tom Cable said Monday. Lechler, an unrestricted free agent, has been elected to the Pro Bowl four times during his nine years in Oakland as a punter. If he’s gone, he finished with a flourish, averaging 47.7 yards against the Buccaneers and breaking the NFL average net-yardage record of 41.1 that he set last year. It would hurt to lose “anyone that impacts a game as much as he does consistently,” Cable said. “So we’ll try to do everything we can and make sure he’s a Raider.”
