OverTheCap.com reports that the San Francisco 49ers have restructured defensive tackle Javon Hargrave's contract for cap-saving purposes. This news arrives at the same time as ESPN's report that the team restructured tight end George Kittle's contract to create about $10 million in additional cap space.
Hargrave joined the 49ers last year on a four-year, $84 million deal that included $40 million guaranteed. He was set to earn nearly $8.9 million in base salary in 2024 and count about $15.41 million against the salary cap.
According to OverTheCap.com, his base salary has been reduced to $1.125 million, and his salary cap hit is now set to about $9.27 million, creating about $6.14 million in savings this year.
The Pittsburgh Steelers selected Hargrave (6-2, 305) out of South Carolina State in the third round (No. 89 overall) of the 2016 NFL Draft. He registered 44 tackles, including eight for a loss, 14 quarterback hits, seven sacks, and two passes defensed through 16 starts last season, per Pro Football Reference.
Hargrave, 31, has recorded 373 tackles, including 54 for a loss, 78 quarterback hits, 44.5 sacks, eight passes defensed, and four forced fumbles in 127 game appearances (112 starts) over his eight NFL seasons with the Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles, and 49ers.
