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.

I thought they should have made a play for Dansby and I was 50/50 on Rolle, I don't think that's really asking to much.

If any teams fan base should know that, it's this one who has now given 2 straight RB's 2nd contracts and watched them fizzle out.

You also don't reach for a RB because you walked into the draft desperate to bring in somebody, because you failed to address the need in free agency.

The Chiefs need a #2 RB. It might be our #1 priority, simply because we need somebody to keep Charles healthy.

I would rather only draft a RB if he was at the right value. If the Chiefs go into the draft and don't find a RB they like, then I'm fine with a guy like Jones. If the Chiefs do find a RB at a great value, you can either cut Jones and take a one-time cap hit or keep the drafted RB for situational downs.

Either way, I don't see the problem. It's not like our picking up a guy like Jones is going to affect our ability to draft a RB. And given that the contract will be frontloaded, it's not like it's going to keep us from bringing in future free agents.

I wish it was Sproles or Taylor. But honestly, to say we shouldn't bring in a veteran free agent RB at all is senselsess, IMO.

Chiefszilla is suggesting pay Jones 4 mil only to cut him if they find a RB in the draft?

Meh on Rolle. He was a good player when he was playing around talented players that were being utilized correctly and playing well. He was in danger of getting benched for Rod Hood when that was not the case. He is definitely going to be a boom or bust sign for the Giants.

Dansby is an interesting case. I would of liked to of seen him in, but at least according to Michael Lombardi (take it for what it's worth I guess), the Dolphins were the only team really interested in him outside of the Cardinals themselves.

This has been an odd Free Agency in general. I'm sure Snyder gave the rat permission to make it rain in Free Agency and they didn't sign a single upper tier Free Agent. The Vikings have the right to sign 2 Free Agents now and haven't even scheduled a visit with one, even though Wilf has no problem spending the money. Things have been awfully quiet from the morgue in Oakland.

I'm sure that we'll end up with:

2010: Brian Bulaga
2011: Julio Jones
2012: Some piece of **** QB from Fresno State b/c Pat Hill is from "The Tree".

If this draft sucks, I'm going to elevate my hate to unheard of levels. Any and all true fans will experience rectal bleeding and migraines if only by glancing at my posts through their peripheral vision.

It is going to get ugly.

Is Donnell Bennett available?

ToxSocks · 03-08-2010, 02:13 PM

We should be bringing in Richardson. Dude can still block. Even in his old age.
