Fargas will visit the Chiefs

Running back Justin Fargas, who was cut by the Raiders for supposedly failing a physical but who claims he didn't, could be getting a chance to take another physical soon.

David White of the San Francisco Chronicle reports that Fargas will be visiting the Chiefs.

"I was told by [Raiders coach Tom Cable] that they were moving in a different direction," Fargas told White. "They said it was strictly about money. . . . I know some things were put out there, I guess they said I didn't ass [unfortunate typo not narrowly averted] a physical. I'm a little disappointed by the way it happened but I understand it's a business."

He told White that he won't be retiring, and while he says he won't return to the Raiders his agent has been in touch with the 49ers.

And if Fargas is willing to move north, his former college coach could be interested, too.

As to the notion that it was "strictly about money," Fargas was due to earn a base salary of only $755,000 in 2010. That said, there's a chance that he had a roster bonus due.

Per NFLPA records, Fargas was under contract with the Raiders through 2014, with a base salary maxing out at $1.775 million in the final year.

LMAO Thomas Jones is suddenly looking a lot better.

Sweet deal. I wouldnt mind jones, but id rather have fargas.

Huh?

For sure!

he'd come cheap, whatever

If we have to sign a RB over-30...Gimme Jones.

Yay.

ROFL

I take back everything I said earlier.

Pay Jones whatever the **** he's asking for.

Just say no to Huggy Cub.

Teams like Cleveland are successfully scouring the market and getting second tier FAs to fill non-essential, but still important, roles, and we are debating which over 30 year old RB to sign.

You're going to use Cleveland as a model for success in the league?
Really?

There's clearly a minimum age for the exclusive Right 53 club.

Did I say they were a model for absolute success, you dumb mother****er? No.

I did, however, say that they were doing a good job maximizing value while not paying out the ass.
