The Minnesota Vikings and Defensive Tackle Javon Hargrave agreed to a 2-year $30 million contract Wednesday afternoon. Hargrave will receive $19 million guaranteed. He is coming off an injury-riddled 2024 season with the San Francisco 49ers. He was limited to 3 games after tearing his triceps early in the year. He had 7 tackles and 1 sack last season.
Hargrave has had a solid NFL career. He was named a Pro Bowler in 2021 and 2023. Hargrave has 380 tackles and 45.5 sacks. He began his career with the Pittsburgh Steelers, spent three seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, and the last two years with the 49ers. Will Hargrave be able to remain healthy and contribute to the Minnesota Vikings in 2025?
Minnesota Vikings Offseason Outlook
Following a 14-3 season that ended with a dud, the Minnesota Vikings have been extremely active this offseason. The majority of their moves have been to improve their defense. They signed Defensive Tackle Jonathan Allen, re-signed Cornerback Byron Murphy, and retained Cornerback Isaiah Rodgers.
It has been an exciting offseason for the Minnesota Vikings, but one question remains. They must find an answer at the quarterback position. San Darnold signed with the Seattle Seahawks and Daniel Jones is now a member of the Indianapolis Colts. The team could either turn the keys over to young quarterback J.J. McCarthy or sign a veteran QB. The team has been linked to Aaron Rodgers this offseason.
Final Thoughts
Hargrave is a solid move for a Vikings team that has been very active this offseason. He has been a contributor to multiple Super Bowl teams. He will look to bring that level of success to a Vikings team that has struggled in the postseason in recent years.
