ESPN’s Adam Schefter is reporting that the Oakland Raiders will not pick up Tom Cables option for the 2011 season. Several media outlets suggested that this was the most likely scenario earlier in the week but we were all waiting on Al Davis to make it official.

NFL Networks Jason La Canfora tweets that Jackson is a “strong internal option” for the Raiders coaching vacancy.
