SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Defensive tackle Javon Hargrave, one of the NFL’s top free agents, is coming to fortify the 49ers’ perenially stout defensive line, at a steep cost.
Hargrave agreed to terms on a four-year, $84 million deal with $40 million guaranteed, as first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter when the NFL’s free agency window opened Monday morning.
The 49ers, through a team spokesman, are declining comment on free agency deals until Wednesday, which is when they first can become official with the start of the new league year.
