"Raiders fans might still get to watch Justin Fargas run next season. It just won't be for their team.

One day after Oakland released the running back, Fargas said in a phone interview Sunday he has a visit lined up Tuesday with the Chiefs, an AFC West rival during his seven seasons with the Raiders.

His agent has also been in contact with other teams, Fargas said, including the 49ers.

He said he certainly doesn't mind the idea of moving across the bay to team up with Niners running back Frank Gore, who by all accounts could use a punishing partner in the backfield.

"That could be something," said Fargas, whose two most productive seasons came in 2007-08 under former Raiders running backs coach Tom Rathman, who is now with the 49ers.

The Niners reportedly are looking at running backs in the draft. At age 30, Fargas isn't exactly young anymore, but he was barely used his first three seasons in Oakland, and he thinks there's still tread to spare.

Fargas missed the end of last season with a knee injury but said he is healthy again. The Raiders said they waived him Saturday because he failed a physical.

He was waived days before earning a $1.7 million bonus, but he likely will not re-sign with the Raiders at a discounted price before training camp.

"I don't see that happening, no," said Fargas, who added that coach Tom Cable told him the team was "moving in a different direction. They said it was strictly about money. I know some things were put out there, I guess they said pass a physical ... I'm fine."
