faba Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Raiders will bring in QB Brooks for visit Staff and News Services Sunday, March 19, 2006 Former Saints quarterback Aaron Brooks will interview with the Raiders on Tuesday, as the team continues its search for a veteran to compete with career backup Marques Tuiasosopo and second-year passer Andrew Walter. Brooks, who turns 30 on March 24, was cut by New Orleans last week when the team signed free agent Drew Brees. While there, he threw a team-record 120 touchdowns and completed 56.4 percent of his passes (1,563 of 2,771) for 19,156 yards and 84 interceptions. His passer rating was 79.7. After starting 82 consecutive games for the Saints dating back to the 2000 season, Brooks struggled last year and was benched in favor of Todd Bouman for the final three games. He finished with 13 touchdowns, 17 interceptions and a 70.0 rating. Cowboys sign Fabini: Dallas signed offensive tackle Jason Fabini to a three-year contract Saturday, a potentially key addition overshadowed by the signing of receiver Terrell Owens. The 6-foot-7, 304-pound Fabini likely will take over the right tackle spot that's been troublesome pretty much since Erik Williams was in his Pro Bowl prime in the 1990s. Rookie Rob Petitti played there last season and struggled, especially when extra blockers were used to help other linemen. Fabini broke into the league with the New York Jets in 1998 when Cowboys coach Bill Parcells was there. Fabini has spent his entire eight-year career with the Jets, starting 114 straight games until he tore a chest muscle Nov. 18 and didn't return. He was cut Feb. 22.
