I think that he would be affordable and he has shown he can carry the ball with consistency. Plus, anyone who watches any football other than the Lions knows that he has home run capability.
I would love to see this be our next FA signing.

he can run between the tackles

I don't think he's more than a stop gap
Oakland has a better o-line (or at least as good) than we do and he never really had much success there, even in a committee. He reminds me a lot of Maurice Morris.

well he got alot of carries
for them taking McFadden so high.

Except that he's the complete opposite of Maurice Morris on the field

Fargas is more of a grind it out between the tackles kind of back
I suppose they’d complement each other pretty well

Hey double D
What’s the word from Pack nation on your top targetted pick for this year?? Are you guys hoping for a tackle in the first to help keep Rogers off his back? I’m not slamming but you know as well as we all do that your tackles almost killed him last year. It didn’t matter what way Rogers was looking he was getting creamed from the back-side.
How many lumps you want Doc?
Well as you know the protection improved monstrously once we got the right players in there
that being said, most Packer fans and draftnicks will have us pegged to take a tackle with either our 1st or 2nd rounder because we do desperately need to get younger and better at the position. Cornerback and a pass rusher are other possibilities

If he's actually healthy unlike the Raiders claim
I would be for it.

Raiders said he failed a physical
Which is why they released him.

man...
I think their fans/team takes 10 times more shots than we do, even tho they are a pretty competitive team.
but ya, i would love to have Fargas, hes nothing special, but hes one of those guys that can carry the ball when you need him to. Btw, he has averaged over 4 yards behind Oakland’s OL and has even had a 1000 yard season, so I wouldn’t say hes a bad back by any means
The beginning of the end of the misery
Fargas
would be a huge need filled and we would be bringing in another “homer” for me and Ralph, he was a Wolverine before transfering out to USC! If we could get Justin I would be so geeked up that I wouldn’t know what to say.
How many lumps you want Doc?
I m just not sure he

The Oakland O Line might be worse than the Lions. IMO.
Their backs averaged 4.1 YPC. Detroit averaged 4.0. They gave up 49 sacks. Lions gave up 43.
Fargas has averaged under four yards per carry the last two years and is over thirty. Injury prone.
NO THANKS. A fifth round pick would be better than this guy. Sorry MEEEchigan fans I hope the Lions pass him by.
LMAO Lefty
I can’t help myself when it come to my MEEEEEChigan Wolverines.
How many lumps you want Doc?
he was owed 1.5 mil on Monday...
I think they just did not want to pay him
if the shoe fits...get another one just like it - George Carlin
Plz get Fargas
He is a homerun hitter we need,good recv,decent pass blocker.He would be a nice depth guy.
Too injury prone
I don’t think we should spend money on a guy as injury prone as him.
You just give him a Vick like deal
2 million Guaranteed for 2 years and like 4 million more if he is healthy for 14 games a year.

Hey Lionsman
Just a quick question that I hope you could explain to me, What FA RB that is out there or even on our roster other than Brown hasn’t had at least 1 injury???? Even starting Rb’s from any team in the NFL ? The game is just too violent nowwa days and every RB has injury issues. Weather it’s turf toe or hammies; the mighty concussion, or even worse they all have them that’s why there is no such thing as a 1 back team anymore. No not the Jags,Vikes, Cowboys, Eagles, Colts, Pat’s NO ONE. Those days are long behind us and we are in need of a Rb reguardless.So if we can’t get T.Jones who wants to go back to the Jets, LT most of you don’t want period, Westbrook how long can he stay on the field, why not Fargas who does not have half the carries that most of the others have on his legs. Fargas wasn’t a starter early in his carreer to me he is the same kind of back as Chester Taylor who most of us wanted, so why not take Taylor 2.0?
How many lumps you want Doc?
50/50
On the plus side I can buy a jersey that says Huggy Bear. Negative I just not sure how productive he would be.
The best there is, The best there was, and the best there ever will be - Bret the Hitman hart
Draft
teams are built through it and I honestly don’t see very much upside to signing Justin Fargas. We have KJ who I think could be a serviceable 2, and Morris is a solid number 3, Mayhew just needs to find a diamond in the rough in the middle rounds…
