More on the San Francisco 49ers from Sactown Sports
The San Francisco 49ers plan to release veteran defensive tackle Javon Hargrave with a post-June 1 designation when the new league year begins in March, general manager John Lynch confirmed.
Hargrave, 31, missed the last 14 games of the 2024 season with a torn right triceps. The two-time Pro Bowler has 45.5 sacks in 130 games with the Pittsburgh Steelers (2016-19), Philadelphia Eagles (2020-22) and 49ers.
Hargrave signed a four-year, $84 million deal in 2023 but restructured his contract last month. With a post-June 1 designation, he would count $8.6 million in dead money in 2025 and $17.5 million in 2026, compared to nearly $25 million without the designation, per ESPN.
Hargrave could return to San Francisco on a reduced deal.
