Report: Javon Hargrave, Vikings Agree to $30M Contract After 49ers Release

Javon Hargrave is set to suit up for a new squad after spending the past two seasons with the San Francisco 49ers.

According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, Hargrave and the Minnesota Vikings agreed to terms on a two-year, $30 million contract after he was released by the 49ers.

Hargrave was a Pro Bowler in 2023 when he logged 44 tackles, seven sacks, 14 quarterback hits and eight tackles for loss, but had his 2024 season cut short due to injury.

After picking up seven tackles and a sack in his first three games, Hargrave partially tore his right triceps in a Week 3 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The injury required surgery and ended his season.

After the injury-shortened season, the 49ers decided to move on from Hargrave, releasing him in March and making him a free agent.

Hargrave signed a four-year, $84 million contract with the 49ers in 2023 and was set to play on the third year of the deal before the release.

Following the release, San Francisco general manager John Lynch said the team would be open to re-signing Hargrave on a reduced contract, but the Niners wanted to give him the chance to test out the free-agency market.

That worked out for Hargrave as he found his way to Minnesota, where he will team up with fellow free-agent signee Jonathan Allen to form a dynamic interior duo.
