Hargrave signed a two‑year, $30M deal in 2025 but played only 537 defensive snaps in 2026, 76 more than second‑year lineman Levi Drake Rodriguez. At 33, he posted a 68.0 PFF grade and 3.5 sacks, but his inconsistency left the Vikings $40.156M over the cap.
With younger linemen like Rodriguez and Jalen Redmond outperforming expectations, the Vikings could restructure Hargrave or trade him to acquire a younger tackle without leaving the position empty.
