After generating only 1,016 yards in four full seasons with the Raiders, running back Justin Fargas busted out in 2007, nearly equaling that totaling 14 games, with seven starts.

For that, Fargas has been rewarded with a new contract.  According to Adam Schefter of NFL Network, it’s a three-year, $12 million deal with $6 million in guaranteed money.

Fargas was a third-round pick in the 2003 draft.  He was scheduled to become a free agent on February 29.
