Vikings may trade DT Hargrave for cap relief

The Vikings may trade inconsistent DT Javon Hargrave to address their $40M+ cap overage.

The Minnesota Vikings are $40.156 million over the salary cap and considering trading defensive tackle Javon Hargrave. The 33-year-old signed a two-year, $30 million deal but played only 537 defensive snaps in 2026.

Trading him would free up $15 million in cap space, and the team has younger linemen like Levi Drake Rodriguez and Jalen Redmond who could help fill the void.
