Javon Hargrave’s production improved drastically in year two with the Eagles and 2022 could be a career-defining season for a defensive tackle looking for another huge payday.
Philadelphia has a decision to make on Hargrave, who is entering the final year of a three-year, $39 million contract he signed as a free agent in 2020 after coming over from Pittsburgh.
Hargrave started 2021 off on a scorching pace, registering six sacks in the Eagles’ first five games before doubles teams and schemes slowed the talented defensive tackle down. Hargrave was a disruptor all year, and he landed high in an NFL.com ranking of the top-10 in the league, coming in at No. 9 on the list behind the Rams’ all-world defender, Aaron Donald.
