Minnesota, which sits $40.156 million over the cap, is evaluating a trade for 33‑year‑old Javon Hargrave. The veteran signed a two‑year, $30 million deal in 2025 but was inconsistent in 2026, recording 3.5 sacks and a 68.0 PFF grade over 537 defensive snaps.
A trade would release $15 million in cap space and could allow the Vikings to pursue a younger interior tackle. If a deal falls through, the team may restructure Hargrave’s contract, hoping he rebounds under new head coach Brian Flores.
