Javon Hargrave agrees to reported 4-year, $84M deal with 49ers

Former Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Javon Hargrave has agreed to a deal with the San Francisco 49ers, according to ESPN. Hargrave will receive a four-year contract worth $84 million, with $40 million guaranteed, according to reports.

Hargrave’s will become one of the NFL’s highest-paid defensive tackles after a career year in 2022. He finished the season with 11 sacks, which helped tie Philadelphia’s defense for the third-most sacks in a season Hargrave is second in FOX Sports’ rankings of the NFL’s top free agents this offseason.

Hargrave is one of 18 free agents on the Eagles heading into the offseason. With a big contract for Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, general manager Howie Roseman had to be selective about which players he retained to keep the team in title contention while still being able to afford Hurts’ contract. That meant letting Hargrave go in free agency.

Prior to joining the 49ers, Hargrave was a third-round pick of the Steelers in 2016. He joined the Eagles in 2020 when he signed a three-year, $39 million contract.
