Former Minnesota Vikings defensive tackle Javon Hargrave has agreed to a two-year, $23 million contract with the Green Bay Packers, providing much-needed help for their defensive line. Hargrave was released by the Vikings and brings valuable experience to new Packers defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon, who coached him during his time with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Gannon will be taking over as the Packers' defensive coordinator, replacing Jeff Hafley. Hargrave, a two-time Pro Bowl selection, has a proven track record with 49 sacks over 10 seasons in the NFL.
The addition of Hargrave strengthens the Packers' defense as they prepare for the upcoming season.
