worked out a deal with the Houston Oilers. The Saints agreed to trade tight end Dave Parks, Linebacker Torn Stincic and Hargett to Houston in exchange for quarterback Kent Nix and defensive tackle Ron Billingsly. Hargett again did not appear in a game as a third string quarterback behind Dan Pastorini and Lynn Dickey. Hoping to salvage his pro career, Hargett signed with the newly formed World Football League, which played football during the Spring. Assigned to The Hawaiians, Hargett found himself splitting time with NFL castoffs Randy Johnson and Norris Weese. The following season, Hargett was finally a starting quarterback again, this time for the WFL's Shreveport Steamer. Hargett beat out Bubba Wyche and D.C. Nobles for the job. Hargett led Sherevport to a 5-7, but the WFL, which was losing money, went bankrupt midway through the season and folded. Political career In November 2017, Hargett was appointed to be the Texas State Director of Rural Development.
