Overview
- Minnesota officially released Javon Hargrave and Jonathan Allen at the start of the league year as part of a cap reset following last offseason’s spending spree.
- Hargrave agreed to a two-year, $23 million contract with Green Bay that includes $13 million in first-year compensation, according to agent Drew Rosenhaus via ESPN.
- The Vikings’ cuts free more than $21 million in cap space combined, with Hargrave’s release alone saving over $10 million while generating notable dead-money charges, per Over the Cap estimates.
- Green Bay addresses a thin interior defensive line after trading Colby Wooden to the Colts for Zaire Franklin and reunites Hargrave with Gannon, his former coordinator in Philadelphia.
- A two-time Pro Bowler with 49 career sacks, Hargrave missed most of 2024 with a torn triceps and in 2025 started 15 games for Minnesota with 3.5 sacks and 31 pressures, per PFF.
