Former Raiders RB Justin Fargas Visiting The Chiefs

I think I’d prefer him to Thomas Jones. Less wear on the tires. Familiar with AFC west. And more accustomed to the complimentary role he’d have here. Plus he’d have some pretty good motivation to excel at least a couple of times a year.

Does that mean Cable out wrestled him or what?

However, we still need to sign Thomas Jones. Have Charles (Okay, not Charles), Jones, Fargas, Castille, Williams, and Batttle play it out in preseason for the 3-5 RB/FB spots that we will have on roster in 2010.

i like the way vargas runs. he runs angery. Ive hated watching him gash the chiefs. If he is in good health id say give him a chance. At the same time thomas jones would be nice too. He seems like a good leader.

I’d much rather have TJ and Fargas than Kolby and Battle. Just sayin’

I guess they said I didn’t ass a physical.

passing a physical in Oakland most likely entails running a a sub 4 40

A backfield of Fargas, TJ, and JC…

If we can get the O-Line to do its job consistently… we could have a top five rushing attack.

of who we’d rather have, if we had to choose between the two. i’d be interested to see the results

Fargas can run the rock. When in the game, he was oaklands best rb. I still say Jones, simply because everything ive heard has made him a lockeroom guy, which is good for maintaining morale…

than signing Jones.

With Thomas Jones making his way to town on Monday, the Chiefs now have options at running back. They could be legitimately interested in both players or they could be using them against each other to secure the best contract.

Interesting application of fiscal responsibility here if they are playing them off each other to get the best deal. Interesting development in FA eh guys?

Either one would be great for the Chiefs….go Pioli and co!!!

I wouldn’t mind him on the Chiefs. He seemed to be a decent RB for the Raiders and I bet he will cost a lot less than Thomas Jones.

Either one of those guys, Fargas or Jones, are not going to be the featured back anyway. We just need a guy capable of getting a yard on 3rd and 1.

I actually like getting players from either the Donks or the Raiders. After they have seen the bottom of the barrel, KC must seem like heaven. Plus they have added incentive to humiliate their former team. Anything which heaps humiliation on the Donks or the Raiders can’t be bad.

but ill take fargas as a 3rd stringer

Jones brings leadership and commands respect on and off the field. A guy at his age still managing a 1400 yard season out of a 3 back set? Hard not to root for him! At the same time tho, with Bush and Mcfadden, I’ve been hoping the Raiders would be dumb enough to release Fargas so we could pick him up and then let him loose on the AFC West as a Chief for a change!

Fargas has a motor that never quits. He’s not the best. He’s not the fastest. But his grit and determination give him a killer drive that he brings every down. I’ve been a Fargas fan for awhile. As much as I hated seeing him tear apart the Chiefs, he’s shouldered the load for a team stacked with terrific, but wasted, talent. And while the spotlight’s been focused on those “talents” Bush, Mcfadden, Asamoagh, Heyward-Bey, he’s continued to bring it at a high level without much talk every game anyway. I respect that. Either one of these guys would be excellent additions. Both preferably =)

My only concerns with him are injury related. But I imagine he would come fairly cheap.

it says a lot about his character for not getting overly pissed at the team that just threw him under the bus.

stellar visit set up there!

because he’d probably be a lot cheaper than Jones. Either one of them can give Charles a rest when needed though, so I’d be cool with either one.

him signing with KC
then going back to oakland and lighting them up
