Now that Justin Fargas is cut, dinner might get a little awkward
Today the Raiders cut longtime running back Justin Fargas. They had to do it soon to save on a $1.7 million roster bonus owed to Fargas if he stuck around.
That’s all well and good, but did they have to give him an award first? In what Just Blog Baby called the “obligatory element of the bizarre,” the Raiders recently announced Fargas as a recipient of the Commitment to Excellence award. Fargas has won the leadership award three years in a row. The banquet is a week from today:
On Saturday, March 13, the Steering Committee for the Oakland Raiders Booster Clubs will host a black tie dinner honoring Raiders running back Justin Fargas and tight end Zach Miller with the Commitment to Excellence Award. The 8th-annual award dinner be held at the Oakland Airport Hilton. Proceeds from the event will go to the recipients’ designated charities.
Can Fargas choose himself as his designated charity? He might need it.
