Cable Is Gone and Hue Is Due So Where Does Loyalty Remain In Oakland?

The Oakland Raiders had once shined in the NFL because of the loyalty of its players to head coaches like Al Davis, Tom Flores, John Madden and Jon Gruden.

Next is the loss of the improved and experience offensive lineman Robert Gallery. Robert Gallery was once considered a bust but he has turned around  and has been vocal about the firing of Cable

At this point, punter Shane Lechler (who is still under contract but may not resig...
