Hargrave agreed to a two-year, $30 million deal with the Vikings on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
The 32-year-old defensive tackle has found a new home in Minnesota after spending the last two seasons with the 49ers. Hargrave dealt with a triceps injury that sidelined him for the majority of San Francisco's 2024 campaign, limiting him to just three games. However, he played in 16 of 17 contests during the 2023 regular season, recording seven sacks among his 44 total tackles. Hargrave is expected to see plenty of playing time alongside Harrison Phillips and Jonathan Allen on the Vikings' new-look defensive line in 2025.
