  1. If any RAIDER should be tacking a Pay cut it should start with the HC who on any other team would have been fired already. So Jon lead by example take a 25 mil haircut an Along with your inept coaching staff except Tom Cable who deserves a big raise. Fire the useless OC there will be a petition soon in the RAIDER NATION for Mark Davis to remove you from the Raider payroll for good
