The Javon Hargrave era is over in Philadelphia, as defensive tackle Javon Hargrave is headed to the San Francisco 49ers on a huge deal.
The $21 million per season puts Hargrave at third in the NFL behind Daron Payne ($22.5 million per) and Aaron Donald.
Hargrave was listed ahead of Daron Payne on ESPN’s top 50 free agents, list and if not for the five-year age difference, the Eagles’ defensive tackle could be resetting the market.
Hargrave had 11 sacks and 37 tackles this season, and his 17.2% pass rush win rate when he was lined up on the interior ranked third in the NFL behind only Kansas City’s Chris Jones and Houston’s Maliek Collins. The game-wrecking defensive tackle had 23 sacks in three seasons with the Eagles.
He’ll now join a 49ers roster that’s loaded and likely headed for a potential 2024 postseason matchup.
He’res the national reaction to Hargrave moving on.

The 49ers definitely swung for the fences by signing Pro Bowl defensive tackle Javon Hargrave to an $84 million deal.

Eagles now lost two starting defensive players, Javon Hargrave and T.J. Edwards, and they won’t be their only losses.

In 2020 the #Eagles signed JH to a 3 year deal worth $39 million ($26 million guaranteed). He just signed for a 4 year deal worth $84 million ($40 million guaranteed).
Moral of the story…sign the NEXT Javon Hargrave before he becomes Javon Hargrave.
Wishing him the best in SF!
