Fargas will visit the Chiefs
Posted by Mike Florio on March 7, 2010 7:17 PM ET
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.

Why? Because he was playing for a contract and got a shitload of targets.

**BossChief** · 03-07-2010, 09:37 PM

Ya know, if we find a way to draft Golden Tate and sign Chambers we could have a pretty good receiving corps.

Sign Thomas Jones to shoulder part of the load of our running attack and we could have some great pieces for Weis to work with if he can get Cassel to be a quarterback.

It would be all up to him from that point.

No excuses.

Bowe, Chambers Tate
Charles Jones
Cottam/Pope

Get us Berry, a couple backers and nose guard and lets go baby!

(this is assuming we are definitely not taking Clausen)

What exactly is a RB going to add to this team? That's one of the few positions we don't need to use money or a high draft pick on, the role that needs to be filled can easily be filled in the mid rounds of the draft.

It's possible. That's always possible. I still think he was a damn good 2, or 3 wideout before he went to SD, and again after he left. I for one will be excited to have him.

I wish you understood how 1) shortsighted and 2) stupid this line of thinking is.

Why the **** would signing those guys make you feel either optimistic or happy?

Content, I could understand, but JFC, it's palliative therapy at best.

Who didn't own up to their fail and removed their post? I missed it.

It hasn't happened in this thread.

There's someone who has posted in this thread that is notorious for ****ing up and then deleting. You can probably figure it out.

You keep making a fool of yourself.
His first game with the team was a road game at Jacksonville.
Please stop.

NFL.com gives him credit for that start and the following week in Oakland.

Well seeing as we still have no QB, I don't think the receivers are going to matter that much.

Seriously I'd be happier if the Chiefs gave 50 mill to Dansby than signed a bunch of Chambers and Jones'.

My bad I was looking at the 11/01 game vs Oakland when he still played for SD.

More stability. RB is a position that I believe guys are exposed to or can easily get injured more so than other positions because of the poundage those guys take.

*But kudos, I agree with you on your take to fill that position through the mid rounds of the draft. Wouldn't complain if they signed Jones though, good solid veteran player. I like him, but I hope he can come at the right price and take on the right role. But yeah Im with you, Id rather see them go the route of the draft.

I told you earlier I forgave you.
We're all wrong from time-to-time.

Mecca · 03-07-2010, 09:46 PM

The problem is the Chiefs don't seem to realize when you have the lowest payroll in the entire ****ing league you should be a player for the good FA's not the shit barrel guys.

Because they're good football players and thats as simple as I can put it.

That's still pretty shitty.

No definitive #1 WR, also rans/unproven at TE, one definitive playmaker at RB.

If Dwayne Bowe doesn't turn into a 1200-1400 yard a year guy this year, he probably never will, and as such, can never be considered more than a really good #2 WR.
