MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings made another major move on their interior defensive redesign by agreeing to terms on a contract with two-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman Javon Hargrave. The Vikings also shored up their secondary by bringing back 14th-year veteran safety Harrison Smith. Hargrave was released by the San Francisco 49ers after playing in only three games in 2024 because of a torn triceps. The 6-foot-2, 305-pound Hargrave was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2016 and blossomed into one of the NFL’s best interior pass rushers. He had a career-high 11 sacks in 2022 for the NFC champion Philadelphia Eagles.
Aaron Rodgers is officially no longer a member of the New York Jets. As expected, the team released the four-time MVP with a post-June 1 designation. The 41-year-old quarterback can join another team as an unrestricted free agent for the first time in his career if he stills intends to play a 21st NFL season. The Jets absorbed a $49 million dead money charge by cutting Rodgers, but are able to spread that over two years instead of one. On Monday, New York agreed to terms with former Steelers and Bears quarterback Justin Fields on a two-year deal.
