Given their cap difficulties, the Pittsburgh Steelers had no choice but to see defensive tackle Javon Hargrave move across the state to the Philadelphia Eagles. Hargrave has been a rock in the interior of Pittsburgh’s defensive line the past few seasons and is coming off a career-best season, where he notched 60 combined tackles along with four sacks.
Just 26, he can be a focal point on the inside of the Eagles’ offense for seasons to come. Now some might wonder about the transition from a 3-4 to a 4-3 base front, but pairing him on the interior with Fletcher Cox should quell most concerns.
What makes this deal a good value is how Howie Roseman constructed the contract. It is technically a five-year, $65 million deal, but the 2023 and 2024 seasons automatically void before the start of the 2023 league year. So it is in essence a three-year, $39 million deal. By using these void years, Roseman is able to spread out Hargrave’s signing bonus ($11.75 million) to reduce the impact on the Eagles’ cap.
