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.

There are going to have to be some veterans involved in the building process, some effective stop-gaps.

The catch, however, is that they can't be a bunch of broke-dicks, whom the current regime seems enamored with. Evidence A: Touchdown Brown.

Point me to where I said this.

Also, point me to where I've said that second tier FA's can't fill non-essential positions on your team, especially when cost efficient.

If not, then shut the **** up.

One of us used the Cleveland Browns as a model for how to appropriately address Free Agency. The other one pointed out the fact that those particular transactions aren't likely to have stellar material results. And went on to suggest that the Draft might present better alternatives for a team in this position (still not quite ready to contend).

And please...for the love of all that is holy...
Please stop with the Internet tough guy shit.
Let's just have a conversation like civil adults shall we?

I suppose Tom Heckert...who said he could play inside or outside in the 3-4 doesn't know what he's talking about either? Got it ace...

I don't give a rat's ass what Tom Heckart said.
I sure as hell ain't going to sign someone who's never rushed the QB to play an OLB position.

Why don't you act civil so we can have an adult discussion?

Cute, you net thugs slay me...

You fail at critical thought.
Why would we opt for a stop-gap at a position where we could find a long-term solution come April?
Don't worry...I'll wait.

Did you ever think that Tom Heckert (who exclusively drafted talent for a 4-3 in Philly) and Holmgren (who exclusively ran a 4-3 as a coach) might be setting the stage for a change from a 3-4 to a 4-3?

**DeezNutz** · 03-07-2010, 07:17 PM

Is there a position, theoretically speaking, for which we could NOT find a long-term solution for in the draft?

We have only so many picks (and a dumb mother****er making the decisions).

We're bringing Thomas Jones in on Monday.
Fargas is also being lined up.

We need someone to support and spell Charles.
Seems to me like they're doing that.

If you've read my posts Laz, I've advocated signing him all along if the price is right. That post was for everyone who complained about it.

Titty Meat · 03-07-2010, 07:19 PM

Wait were not going to sign Fargas & Jones are we? That'd be silly.

Yes. We have 22 holes Billay.
No talent with which to build around.
