After this release this offseason, defensive tackle Javon Hargrave didn’t exactly have great things to say about Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores and his system. As it turns out, Hargrave will see Flores and the Vikings twice next season.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Wednesday the Green Bay Packers signed Hargrave to a 2-year, $23 million contract. The deal will include $13 million guaranteed.
Hargrave will be staying in the NFC North after one season with the Vikings.
The veteran defensive tackle was supposed to be in Minnesota a little longer. The Vikings signed Hargrave to a 2-year, $30 million contract last offseason.
But ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on March 1 the Vikings planned to release Hargrave. The move saved the team $10.9 million in cap space.
During 2025, Hargrave posted 52 combined tackles, including four tackles for loss. He also had 3.5 sacks, six quarterback hits and one forced fumble in 16 games.
In 146 NFL games with the Vikings, Pittsburgh Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers, Hargrave has registered 49 sacks, 59 tackles for loss and 85 quarterback hits.
