2025 Fantasy Outlook
Hargrave played only three regular-season games in 2024 due to a triceps injury, but he joins the Vikings at full health via a two-year, $30 million contract. Alongside fellow free-agent signee Jonathan Allen and incumbent starter Harrison Phillips, Hargrave appears primed for plentiful starting reps as a leader of what Minnesota hopes will be a resurgent pass-rush corps. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a two-year, $30 million contract with the Vikings in March of 2025.
Set to be cut by Minnesota
The Vikings informed Hargrave that he will be released at the start of the league year March 11 barring a trade, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave was set to enter the second and final year of his contract in 2026, but his departure will save the Vikings approximately $10.9 million in salary cap space. The veteran defensive tackle finished the 2025 regular season with 52 tackles (18 solo), including 3.5 sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 16 games. Once the move is official, Hargrave should draw plenty of interest from teams looking to add a veteran defensive lineman in free agency.

Hargrave turned in a solid campaign in his first year in red and gold, recording 44 tackles and seven sacks across 16 starts. The veteran defensive tackle did suffer a torn ligament in his thumb towards the end of the season, which may require surgery before he hits the field in 2024. Under contract through 2026, Hargrave will continue anchoring the interior of the 49ers defensive line for this upcoming season and beyond.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set for release
The Vikings have informed Hargrave that he will be released at the start of the new league year March 11 barring a trade, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.
ANALYSIS
Minnesota has reportedly been shopping Hargrave, but a suitor willing to meet the Vikings' asking price hasn't emerged. If no trade materializes, the Vikings will simply cut Hargrave, which would save $10.9 million in cap space. Hargrave shouldn't have trouble finding a landing spot if he hits the open market, as the 33-year-old defensive tackle was serviceable in 2025, with 3.5 sacks among his 52 tackles.
